Intro
[Cm]
Verse
[Cm]Must have left my house at eight, because [Ab]I always [G]do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was [Cm]due
I must have read the morning paper going into [Bb]town
And [Bb]having gotten through the editorial, no [Bb7]doubt I must have [Eb]frowned
Chorus
I [Eb]must have made my desk around a quarter after [Bb]nine
With [Bb7]letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be [Eb]signed
I [Ab]must have gone to lunch at [Eb/G]half past twelve or so, The usual [Fm]place, the
usual bunch
And still on top of this I'm pretty [Dm7]sure it must have [G]rained, The day
before you [Cm]came
Verse
[Cm]I must have lit my seventh cigarette at [Ab]half past [G]two
And [G7]at the time I never even noticed [G7/B]I was [Cm]blue
I must have kept on dragging through the [Cm/D]business of the [Bb]day
Without really knowing [Bb7]any-thing, I hid a part of [Bb/D]me [Eb]a-way
Chorus
[Eb]At five I must have left, there's no exception to the [Bb]rule
A [Bb7]matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished [Eb]school
The [Ab]train back home again, [Eb/G]un-doubtedly I must have read the [Fm]evening paper
then
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well [Dm7]with-in its usual [G]frame, The day before
you [Cm]came
Instrumental
[Cm] [Bdim7] [Bdim7/Ab] [G7] [Cm] [F#dim7/A] [Cm/G] [G7sus4] [G7] [Cm]
Verse
I [Cm]must have opened my front door at [Ab6]eight o'clock or [G]so
And [G7]stopped along the way to buy some Chinese [G7/B]food to [Cm]go
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on [Bb]TV
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas [Bb7]that I didn't [Eb]see
Chorus
I [Eb]must have gone to bed around a quarter after [Bb7]ten
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in [Bb7/D]bed by [Eb]then
I [Ab]must have read a while, The [Eb/G]latest one by Barbara Cartland or [Fm]something
in that style
It's [Fm]funny, but I had no sense of [Dm7]living without [G7]aim, The day before [Cm]you
came
Chorus
And [Ab]turning out the lights, I [Eb/G]must have yawned and cuddled up for [Fm]yet
another night
And rattling on the roof I must have [Dm7]heard the sound of [G7]rain, The day
before [Cm]you came
