Intro
Gm | | | |
[VERSE 1]
Gm | Eb6 * | D |
Must have left my house at eight, because I always do
| D | * | Gm | |
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
| Gm | * | F |
I must have read the morning paper going into town
| F | F7/A | A# | |
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned
[CHORUS 1]
A# | | F |
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
| F7 | | A#
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
A#/D | Eb | A#/D
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
| Cm |
The usual place, the usual bunch
| Cm | Dm7-5 * | D |
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
| Gm |
The day before you came
[VERSE 2]
| Gm | * | D |
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
| D7 | D7/F# * | Gm |
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
| Gm | Gm Gm/A * | F | |
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
F | F7 F/A | A# |
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me a - way
[CHORUS 2]
| A# | | F |
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule
| F7 | | A# |
E matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
| Eb
The train back home again,
| A#/D | Cm |
undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
| Cm | Dm7-5 * | D |
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame
| Gm
The day before you came

Gm | |
[VERSE 3]
Gm | Eb6 * | D |
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
| D7 | D7/F# * | Gm |
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
| Gm | * | F |
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
| F | F7 | A# |
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
[CHORUS 3]
| A# | | F7 |
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
| F7 | F7/A | A# |
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
| Eb
I must have read a while
| A#/D | Cm | Cmadd9 Fm
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
| Cm | Dm7-5 * | D7 |
It's funny, but I had no sense of liv - ing without aim
| Gm | Gmadd9 Cm
The day before you came
[FINAL CHORUS]
| Eb
And turning out the light
| A#/D | Cm | Cmadd9 Fm
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
| Cm | Dm7-5 * | D7 |
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
| Gm
The day before you came
