  E5                                                 B5
I must have left my house at eight because I always do
                                                         E5
My train I'm certain left the station just when it was due
                                               D5
I must have read the morning paper going into town
                                                                G5
And having gotten through the editorial no doubt I must have frowned
                                                 D5
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
                                                            G5
With letters to be read and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
   C5                                  E5
I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so 
           A5
The usual place the usual bunch
    A5                                                B5
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained
                    E5
The day before you came


  E5                                                 B5
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
                                             E5
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue
                                               D5
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
                                                   G5
Without really knowing anything I hid a part of me away
                                                 D5
At five I must have left there's no exception to the rule
                                                  G5
A matter of routine I've done it ever since I finished school
   C5
The train back home again
   E5                                A5
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then
    A5                                           B5
Oh yes I'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame
                  E5
The day before you came

  E5                                             B5
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
                                             E5
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go
                                         D5
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV
                                                   G5
There's not I think a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
                                             D5
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
                                                  G5
I need a lot of sleep and so I like to be in bed by then
   C5
I must have read a while
   E5                                A5
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style
    A5                                      B5
It's funny but I had no sense of living without aim
                E5
The day before you came


   C5
And turning out the light
   E5                                A5
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
    A5                                      B5
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
                E5
The day before you came
