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

  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
