It’s been seven hours and fifteen days 

  3    3   3     3     3   3 -2’’
Since you took  your love  away

4  4   4  -4 5   -4    4    4   -4   3
I  go out every night and sleep all day 

3     3    3    3    3   3-2’’                   
Since you took your love away 

  4     3    -3’’  4   4  3  4
Since you’ve been gone I can do 

4   -4-4   5   5-44-4
What-ever  I   want 

3  3   3   3    3   4    4
I can see whom ever I choose 

4  3   4  4   4  3   -2’’ 3    4  4
I can eat my dinner  in   a   fan-cy 

-4 5   5-44-4  
Restau-rant 

-3’’ 4  4   -3’’ -3’’   4  4    -3’’
But nothin’  I   said  nothin’ can

4    4  -4  -4    -4
Take a-way this blues

   4    -5  5   -4  4       
‘cause nothing compares,  

-5  5   -4  4     5 -4
Nothing compares to you

 3    4  -4 5  5 -4 -4   4  4   -4   -3 -3’’3
It’s been so   lone-ly  without you   here
   
 3   3   3   3  3   4  -2’’
Like a bird without a song 

 5  5   -4    5  -4  4   5 -4 4    5
Nothing can stop these   lonely  tears  

-4      -4    5 -4     5   -4    4  -4 -3’’
From   fall - ing    tell  me    ba-by

 -5’  -4   4   -4      4
Where did  I   go   wrong?

3  3   5  5   5    5  -4 4
I can put my arms  a-round 

5 -4 4  -4  5  -3 -3'' 3
Ev-ery  boy I  see

3    3       3  3   3  3   4  4    4
But they’d  on-ly  remind  me of  you

2    -2’’  3   -1
Oh,  oh,  oh,  oh

3  5    -4    4  5 -4 4   5    -4   4
I went  to   the doctor, guess what he 
        
 4   -4    5    -4  4    4  -4
Told me, guess what he told me? 
 
-3’’   4     5    5   -4   4  5  5   -4   5
He   said: “girl you bet-ter try to have fun 

-4   5  -4  4   -4  -4     4    5   -4   -4
No mat-ter what you do”.  But  he’s  a  fool,

  4    -5  5    -4  4
‘cause nothing compares 

 5  7    5  -4     5  -4
Nothing compares  to  you

6    5   5 -4   -4    4    4  -3’’  4 -4
All the flowers that you  planted   mama

4   -3’’  -4   3     3   3    3
In  the  back yard, all died when 

  3    3   4  4
 you went  a-way

 2     -2’’   3    -1     3
 oh,   oh,   oh,   oh,   oh
     
5   5   5    5  5   -4    4   4  4
I know that liv-in’ with you, baby,
                  
-3’’   4    -4   3
Was   sometimes hard

3    3   3   3   3    3    4
But I’m willing  to give  it

 3 -2’’ 2     3 -3 -5 5
Anoth - er    try  

 -5  5   -4  4
Nothing compares,
