The Day Before You Came

     C#m                                                             A                               Ab 
I must have left my house at eight, because I always do
       Ab                                                                                               C#m 
My train i,m certain left the station just when it was due
     C#m                                                                            B 
I must have read the morning paper going into town
 B                                                                                                                   E 
Having gotten through the editorial, no doubt i,m I must have frowned
     E                                                                                   B 
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
           B                                                                                                   E 
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
 E     A                                                Ab                                 C#m 
    I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
                     F#m 
The usual place, the usual bunch
         F#                                                           F#m                             Ab 
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
                                       C#m 
The day before you came
verse 2
     C#m                                           A                                           Ab 
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
         Ab                                                                         C#m 
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
     C#m                                                                                                       B 
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
 B                                                                                                     E 
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away
       E                                                                                                   B 
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule
     B                                                                                                         E 
A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school
BRIDGE
         A 
The train back home again
     C#m                                                       F#m 
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
       F#m                                                                                         Ab 
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame
                                       C#m 
The day before you came
 C#m                   Ab 
Ohhhhh   ohhh ohhh
 F#m     B         C#m 
Ohhhhhhhhh   hhhhhh
 C#m                      Ab           C#m 
Ahhhhh   Ahhhhh     Ahhhh     Ahhhhh
verse 3
     C#m                                                             A                               Ab 
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
         Ab                                                                                               C#m 
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
         C#m                                                                               B 
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
                 B                                                                                                           E 
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
     E                                                                                       B 
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
     B                                                                                                   E 
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then
 E     A                                                   Ab                       E                                 F#m 
    I must have read a while the latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
           F#m                                                                                 Ab 
It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim
                                       C#m 
The day before you came
BRIDGE
         A 
And turning out the light
     C#m                                                                 F#m 
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
         F#m                                                                                           Ab 
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
                                       C#m 
The day before you came
 C#m                   Ab 
Ohhhhh   ohhh ohhh
 F#                   C#m 
Ohhhhhhhhh   hhhhhh
 A             C#m                      Ab             C#m 
Ahhhhh   Ahhhhh     Ahhhh     Ahhhhh     Ahhhhh
