     Em                                                                                                                                 B7  
I must have left my house at eight because I always do
                                                                                                                                                        Em  
My train I'm certain left the station just when it was due
                                                                                                                             D  
I must have read the morning paper going into town
                                                                                                                                                                          G  
And having gotten through the editorial no doubt I must have frowned
                                                                                                                                  D7  
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
                                                                                                                                                                G  
With letters to be read and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
        C         Em  
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
                             Am  
The usual place the usual bunch
          Am7                                                                                                                              B7  
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
                                                     Em  
The day before you came
     Em                                                                                                                                 B7  
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
                                                                                                                        Em  
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
                                                                                                                             D  
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
                                                                                                                                        G  
Without really knowing anything I hid a part of me away
                                                                                                                                  D7  
At five I must have left there's no exception to the rule
                                                                                                                                     G  
A matter of routine I've done it ever since I finished school
        C  
The train back home again
        Em                                                                                    Am  
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
          Am7                                                                                                                 B7  
Oh yes I'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame
                                                Em  
The day before you came
E              B7E        Em  B7Em  
     Em                                                                                                                      B7  
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
                                                                                                                        Em  
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
                                                                                                             D  
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
                                                                                                                                        G  
There's not I think a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
                                                                                                                        D7  
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
                                                                                                                                     G  
I need a lot of sleep and so I like to be in bed by then
        C  
I must have read a while
        Em                                                                                    Am  
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
          Am7                                                                                                    B7  
It's funny but I had no sense of living without aim
                                          Em  
The day before you came
        C  
And turning out the light
        Em                                                                                    Am  
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
          Am7                                                                                                    B7  
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
                                          Em  
The day before you came
