Intro

[VERSE 1]
Em | C6 * | B |
Must have left my house at eight, because I always do
| B | * | Em | |
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
| Em | * | D |
I must have read the morning paper going into town
| D | D7/F# | G | |
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned
[CHORUS 1]
G | | D |
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
| D7 | | G
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
G/B | C | G/B
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
| Am |
The usual place, the usual bunch
| Am | Dm7-5 * | B |
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
| Em |
The day before you came
[VERSE 2]
| Em | * | B |
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
| B7 | B7/D# * | Em |
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
| Em | Em Em/F# * | D | |
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
D | D7 D/F# | G |
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me a - way
[CHORUS 2]
| G | | D |
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule
| D7 | | G |
C# matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
| C
The train back home again,
| G/B | Am |
undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
| Am | Dm7-5 * | B |
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame
| Em
The day before you came

[VERSE 3]
Em | C6 * | B |
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
| B7 | B7/D# * | Em |
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
| Em | * | D |
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
| D | D7 | G |
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
[CHORUS 3]
| G | | D7 |
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
| D7 | D7/F# | G |
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
| C
I must have read a while
| G/B | Am | Amadd9 Fm
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
| Am | Dm7-5 * | B7 |
It's funny, but I had no sense of liv - ing without aim
| Em | Emadd9 Cm
The day before you came
[FINAL CHORUS]
| C
And turning out the light
| G/B | Am | Amadd9 Fm
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
| Am | Dm7-5 * | B7 |
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
| Em
The day before you came
