Intro

[VERSE 1]
Bm | G6 * | F# |
Must have left my house at eight, because I always do
| F# | * | Bm | |
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
| Bm | * | A |
I must have read the morning paper going into town
| A | A7/C# | D | |
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned
[CHORUS 1]
D | | A |
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
| A7 | | D
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
D/F# | G | D/F#
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
| Em |
The usual place, the usual bunch
| Em | Dm7-5 * | F# |
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
| Bm |
The day before you came
[VERSE 2]
| Bm | * | F# |
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
| F#7 | F#7/A# * | Bm |
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
| Bm | Bm Bm/C# * | A | |
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
A | A7 A/C# | D |
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me a - way
[CHORUS 2]
| D | | A |
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule
| A7 | | D |
G# matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
| G
The train back home again,
| D/F# | Em |
undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
| Em | Dm7-5 * | F# |
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame
| Bm
The day before you came

[VERSE 3]
Bm | G6 * | F# |
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
| F#7 | F#7/A# * | Bm |
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
| Bm | * | A |
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
| A | A7 | D |
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
[CHORUS 3]
| D | | A7 |
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
| A7 | A7/C# | D |
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
| G
I must have read a while
| D/F# | Em | Emadd9 Fm
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
| Em | Dm7-5 * | F#7 |
It's funny, but I had no sense of liv - ing without aim
| Bm | Bmadd9 Cm
The day before you came
[FINAL CHORUS]
| G
And turning out the light
| D/F# | Em | Emadd9 Fm
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
| Em | Dm7-5 * | F#7 |
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
| Bm
The day before you came
