Nothing Compares 2 UChris Cornell

Songwriter: Prince

[Verse 1]
It's been seven hours and sixteen 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 whoever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing, nothing can take away these blues

[Chorus]
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares
To you

[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
Where did I go wrong?
I can throw my arms around any girl I choose
But it just reminds me of you
I went to the doctor and guess what he told me
He said, "Boy, you better try to have fun
No matter what you do"
But he's a fool

[Chorus]
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares
To you

[Verse 3]
All the flowers that you planted mama in your backyard
All died when you went away
And I know living with me is sometimes hard, but I'm willing
To give it another try

[Outro]
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares
To you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares
To you
To you
To you

Chris Cornell

Christopher John Boyle, best known as Chris Cornell, was an American rock musician from Seattle.

Originally finding success as the frontman of Soundgarden, he forged a successful career after the band’s 1997 demise, both with the supergroup Audioslave and as a diverse solo artist.

Born on July 20, 1964, his music career didn’t take shape until he was a teenager when he began playing drums in a local cover band. Although he spent most of his teenage years as a loner, rock music helped Cornell overcome his uneasiness around others. After dropping out of high school and working as a cook, Cornell laid the foundation for what would become the influential grunge band Soundgarden by the mid-‘80s. Cornell assumed vocal duties for the group, with friend Hiro Yamamoto on bass, Kim Thayil on guitar, and eventually Matt Cameron on drums.
