 It's been seven hours and fifteen days

 Since you took your love away

 I go out every night and sleep all day

 I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant

 I'm like a bird without a song

F                                                       C  
 I could put my arms around every boy I see  
Dm                                              F     C  
 But they'd only remind me of you  
  
F                                        
 I went to the doctor and guess what he told me  
C 
Guess what he told me  
  
           Dm 
He said, girl you'd better try to have fun  
                               E 
No matter what you do, but he's a fool

All the flowers that you planted, mamma, in the backyard  
Dm                                        F   C  
 All died when you went away  
  
F                                                             C  
 I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard  
Dm                                                 E 
 But I'm willing to give it another try
