Intro
G#m | | | |
[VERSE 1]
G#m | Fb6 * | D# |
Must have left my house at eight, because I always do
| D# | * | G#m | |
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
| G#m | * | Gb |
I must have read the morning paper going into town
| Gb | Gb7/A# | Cb | |
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned
[CHORUS 1]
Cb | | Gb |
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
| Gb7 | | Cb
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
Cb/D# | Fb | Cb/D#
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
| C#m |
The usual place, the usual bunch
| C#m | Dm7-5 * | D# |
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
| G#m |
The day before you came
[VERSE 2]
| G#m | * | D# |
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
| D#7 | D#7/G * | G#m |
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
| G#m | G#m G#m/A# * | Gb | |
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
Gb | Gb7 Gb/A# | Cb |
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me a - way
[CHORUS 2]
| Cb | | Gb |
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule
| Gb7 | | Cb |
F matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
| Fb
The train back home again,
| Cb/D# | C#m |
undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
| C#m | Dm7-5 * | D# |
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame
| G#m
The day before you came

[VERSE 3]
G#m | Fb6 * | D# |
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
| D#7 | D#7/G * | G#m |
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
| G#m | * | Gb |
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
| Gb | Gb7 | Cb |
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
[CHORUS 3]
| Cb | | Gb7 |
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
| Gb7 | Gb7/A# | Cb |
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
| Fb
I must have read a while
| Cb/D# | C#m | C#madd9 Fm
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
| C#m | Dm7-5 * | D#7 |
It's funny, but I had no sense of liv - ing without aim
| G#m | G#madd9 Cm
The day before you came
[FINAL CHORUS]
| Fb
And turning out the light
| Cb/D# | C#m | C#madd9 Fm
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
| C#m | Dm7-5 * | D#7 |
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
| G#m
The day before you came
