Intro

[VERSE 1]
Fm | Db6 * | C |
Must have left my house at eight, because I always do
| C | * | Fm | |
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
| Fm | * | Eb |
I must have read the morning paper going into town
| Eb | Eb7/G | Ab | |
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned
[CHORUS 1]
Ab | | Eb |
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
| Eb7 | | Ab
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
Ab/C | Db | Ab/C
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
| A#m |
The usual place, the usual bunch
| A#m | Dm7-5 * | C |
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
| Fm |
The day before you came
[VERSE 2]
| Fm | * | C |
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
| C7 | C7/E * | Fm |
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
| Fm | Fm Fm/G * | Eb | |
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
Eb | Eb7 Eb/G | Ab |
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me a - way
[CHORUS 2]
| Ab | | Eb |
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule
| Eb7 | | Ab |
D matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
| Db
The train back home again,
| Ab/C | A#m |
undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
| A#m | Dm7-5 * | C |
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame
| Fm
The day before you came

[VERSE 3]
Fm | Db6 * | C |
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
| C7 | C7/E * | Fm |
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
| Fm | * | Eb |
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
| Eb | Eb7 | Ab |
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
[CHORUS 3]
| Ab | | Eb7 |
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
| Eb7 | Eb7/G | Ab |
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
| Db
I must have read a while
| Ab/C | A#m | A#madd9 Fm
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
| A#m | Dm7-5 * | C7 |
It's funny, but I had no sense of liv - ing without aim
| Fm | Fmadd9 Cm
The day before you came
[FINAL CHORUS]
| Db
And turning out the light
| Ab/C | A#m | A#madd9 Fm
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
| A#m | Dm7-5 * | C7 |
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
| Fm
The day before you came
