Intro
F#m | | | |
[VERSE 1]
F#m | D6 * | C# |
Must have left my house at eight, because I always do
| C# | * | F#m | |
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
| F#m | * | Fb |
I must have read the morning paper going into town
| Fb | Fb7/G# | A | |
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned
[CHORUS 1]
A | | Fb |
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
| Fb7 | | A
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
A/C# | D | A/C#
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
| Bm |
The usual place, the usual bunch
| Bm | Dm7-5 * | C# |
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
| F#m |
The day before you came
[VERSE 2]
| F#m | * | C# |
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
| C#7 | C#7/F * | F#m |
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
| F#m | F#m F#m/G# * | Fb | |
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
Fb | Fb7 Fb/G# | A |
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me a - way
[CHORUS 2]
| A | | Fb |
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule
| Fb7 | | A |
D# matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
| D
The train back home again,
| A/C# | Bm |
undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
| Bm | Dm7-5 * | C# |
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame
| F#m
The day before you came

[VERSE 3]
F#m | D6 * | C# |
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
| C#7 | C#7/F * | F#m |
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
| F#m | * | Fb |
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
| Fb | Fb7 | A |
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
[CHORUS 3]
| A | | Fb7 |
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
| Fb7 | Fb7/G# | A |
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
| D
I must have read a while
| A/C# | Bm | Bmadd9 Fm
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
| Bm | Dm7-5 * | C#7 |
It's funny, but I had no sense of liv - ing without aim
| F#m | F#madd9 Cm
The day before you came
[FINAL CHORUS]
| D
And turning out the light
| A/C# | Bm | Bmadd9 Fm
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
| Bm | Dm7-5 * | C#7 |
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
| F#m
The day before you came
