Intro

[VERSE 1]
Dm | A#6 * | A |
Must have left my house at eight, because I always do
| A | * | Dm | |
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
| Dm | * | C |
I must have read the morning paper going into town
| C | C7/E | F | |
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned
[CHORUS 1]
F | | C |
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
| C7 | | F
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
F/A | A# | F/A
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
| Gm |
The usual place, the usual bunch
| Gm | Dm7-5 * | A |
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
| Dm |
The day before you came
[VERSE 2]
| Dm | * | A |
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
| A7 | A7/C# * | Dm |
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
| Dm | Dm Dm/E * | C | |
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
C | C7 C/E | F |
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me a - way
[CHORUS 2]
| F | | C |
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule
| C7 | | F |
B matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
| A#
The train back home again,
| F/A | Gm |
undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
| Gm | Dm7-5 * | A |
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame
| Dm
The day before you came

[VERSE 3]
Dm | A#6 * | A |
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
| A7 | A7/C# * | Dm |
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
| Dm | * | C |
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
| C | C7 | F |
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
[CHORUS 3]
| F | | C7 |
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
| C7 | C7/E | F |
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
| A#
I must have read a while
| F/A | Gm | Gmadd9 Fm
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
| Gm | Dm7-5 * | A7 |
It's funny, but I had no sense of liv - ing without aim
| Dm | Dmadd9 Cm
The day before you came
[FINAL CHORUS]
| A#
And turning out the light
| F/A | Gm | Gmadd9 Fm
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
| Gm | Dm7-5 * | A7 |
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
| Dm
The day before you came
