Lyrics

It’s been sev en hours and (C)fif teen days

since you took your love a way.

I go out ev ’ry night and (C)sleep all day,

since you took your love a way.

Since you been gone I can do what ev er I want,

I can see whom ev er I choose.

I can eat my din ner in a fan cy (C)res tau rant,

but (Dm7)noth ing, I said noth ing can take a way these blues,

’cause (Eb)noth ing com (Bb)pares,

noth ing com (Bb)pares 2 U.

It’s been so long with (C)out you here

like a bird with out a song.

Ah.

Noth ing can stop these lone ly (C)tears from fall ing,

tell me (Dm7)ba by,

where did I go (Bb)wrong?

I could put my arms a round ev ’ry (C)boy I see,

it ’d on ly re mind me of you.

Ah.

I went to the doc tor and guess what he (C)told me (guess what he told me), he said, (Dm7)girl, you’d bet ter try to have fun no mat ter (A7)what you do;

but he’s a fool, ’cause (Eb)noth ing com (Bb)pares,

noth ing com (C)pares 2 U.

Oh.

(F)All the flow ers that you plant ed, ma ma,

all died in the wind and the rain.

Ah.

I know that liv ing with you, ba by, was (C)some times hard,

but I’m will ing to give it an oth er try.

(Eb)Noth ing com (Bb)pares,

noth ing com (C)pares 2 U.

Noth ing com (Bb)pares,

Noth ing com (Bb)pares,

noth ing com (C)pares 2 U.
