This is a cover Dustin did from a live bootleg called Ursus Veritas. He doesn t
play every verse/chorus consistently throughout, but I tried my best to tab it so
you can play along to his version.
Feel free to post any questions/comments/corrections in the comments section! (No,
I m not figuring out the strumming pattern)
Standard Tuning [Capo 1]
Verse 1
It s been seven hours and fifteen days,
-
since you took your love away.
I go out every night and sleep all day,
-
since you took your love away.
Since you ve been gone I can do whatever I want,
-
I can see whomever I choose.
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant,
but nothing,
I said nothing can take away these blues.
Chorus 1
Cause nothing compares,
nothing compares to you.
Interlude 1
x4
Verse 2
It s been so lonely without you here,
-
like a bird without a song.
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling,
tell me baby where did I go wrong?
I can put my arms round every girl I see,
-
but they d only remind me of you.
I went to the doctor guess what he told me,
guess what he told me?
He said son you better try to have fun
no matter what you do. He s a fool.
Chorus 2
Cause nothing compares
nothing compares to you
Interlude 2
x4
Verse 3
All the flowers that you planted momma,
in the backyard
-
They all died when you went away.
I know that living with you, baby, was sometimes hard,
but I m willing to give it another try.
Chorus 3 - x2
Cause nothing compares
nothing compares to you
End on
