[INTRO]
Cm | | | |
[VERSE 1]
Cm | Ab6 * | G |
Must have left my house at eight, because I always do
| G | * | Cm | |
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due
| Cm | * | Bb |
I must have read the morning paper going into town
| Bb | Bb7/D | Eb | |
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned
[CHORUS 1]
Eb | | Bb |
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
| Bb7 | | Eb
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
Eb/G | Ab | Eb/G
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
| Fm |
The usual place, the usual bunch
| Fm | Dm7-5 * | G |
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
| Cm |
The day before you came
[VERSE 2]
| Cm | * | G |
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
| G7 | G7/B * | Cm |
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
| Cm | Cm Cm/D * | Bb | |
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
Bb | Bb7 Bb/D | Eb |
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me a - way
[CHORUS 2]
| Eb | | Bb |
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule
| Bb7 | | Eb |
A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
| Ab
The train back home again,
| Eb/G | Fm |
undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
| Fm | Dm7-5 * | G |
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame
| Cm
The day before you came
[INTERLUDE]
( Cm ) | | Bdim7 | |
Bdim7/Ab | G7 | Cm | |
F#dim7/A | | Cm/G | |

Cm | |
[VERSE 3]
Cm | Ab6 * | G |
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
| G7 | G7/B * | Cm |
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
| Cm | * | Bb |
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
| Bb | Bb7 | Eb |
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
[CHORUS 3]
| Eb | | Bb7 |
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
| Bb7 | Bb7/D | Eb |
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
| Ab
I must have read a while
| Eb/G | Fm | Fmadd9 Fm
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
| Fm | Dm7-5 * | G7 |
It's funny, but I had no sense of liv - ing without aim
| Cm | Cmadd9 Cm
The day before you came
[FINAL CHORUS]
| Ab
And turning out the light
| Eb/G | Fm | Fmadd9 Fm
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
| Fm | Dm7-5 * | G7 |
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
| Cm
The day before you came
