Intro
C#m | | | |
[VERSE 1]
C#m | A6 * | G# |
Must have left my house at eight, because I always do
| G# | * | C#m | |
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
| C#m | * | Cb |
I must have read the morning paper going into town
| Cb | Cb7/D# | Fb | |
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned
[CHORUS 1]
Fb | | Cb |
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
| Cb7 | | Fb
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
Fb/G# | A | Fb/G#
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
| F#m |
The usual place, the usual bunch
| F#m | Dm7-5 * | G# |
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
| C#m |
The day before you came
[VERSE 2]
| C#m | * | G# |
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
| G#7 | G#7/C * | C#m |
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
| C#m | C#m C#m/D# * | Cb | |
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
Cb | Cb7 Cb/D# | Fb |
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me a - way
[CHORUS 2]
| Fb | | Cb |
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule
| Cb7 | | Fb |
A# matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
| A
The train back home again,
| Fb/G# | F#m |
undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
| F#m | Dm7-5 * | G# |
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame
| C#m
The day before you came

[VERSE 3]
C#m | A6 * | G# |
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
| G#7 | G#7/C * | C#m |
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
| C#m | * | Cb |
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
| Cb | Cb7 | Fb |
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
[CHORUS 3]
| Fb | | Cb7 |
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
| Cb7 | Cb7/D# | Fb |
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
| A
I must have read a while
| Fb/G# | F#m | F#madd9 Fm
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
| F#m | Dm7-5 * | G#7 |
It's funny, but I had no sense of liv - ing without aim
| C#m | C#madd9 Cm
The day before you came
[FINAL CHORUS]
| A
And turning out the light
| Fb/G# | F#m | F#madd9 Fm
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
| F#m | Dm7-5 * | G#7 |
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
| C#m
The day before you came
