NOTHING COMPARES 2 U

This song was originally composed by Prince. This (by Chris Cornell) is one of the best cover versions I’ve
ever heard. If you want to look for this version online, here's a link to the video:
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuUDRU9-HRk)
Apparently Chris Cornell also recorded a version of this song without these solos.

If you don’t want to bother with G/B and Am7, you can play G and Am instead.
Sounds good anyway!

ENJOY!

[Verse]

             
   It's been s

              
even hours and

    
 fifteen days
           
   Since you t

              
ook your love 

        -   
away
             
   I go out al

              
l night and sl


eep all day
           
   Since you t

              
ook your love 

           -   
away
             
   Since you b

              
een gone I can

         
 do whatever I

 want
           
   I can see w

              
hoever I choos

       -   
e
             
   I can eat m

              
y dinner in a 

      
fancy restaura

nt
           
But nothing, n

              
othing can tak

      
e away these b

lues


[Chorus]

            
`Cause nothing

            
 compares
            
   Nothing com

    
pares to you


[Verse]

             
   It's been s

             
o lonely witho

/
ut you here
           
   Like a bird

              
 without a son

        -   
g
             
   Nothing can

              
 stop these lo

     
nely tears fro

m falling
           
Tell me,    wh

              
ere did I go w

   
rong
             
   I could put

              
 my arms aroun

      
d any girl I c

hoose
           
   But it just

              
 reminds me of

          -   
 you
             
   I went to t

              
he doctor and 

              
guess what he 


told me
           
He said: “Boy,

              
 you better tr

              
y to have fun 

              
no matter what

 
 you do”, but 

he's a fool


[Chorus]

            
`Cause nothing

            
 compares
            
   Nothing com

 
pares to you
