Intro 1
(C minor) (C minor) (C minor) (C minor)
Verse 1
I (C minor) must have left my house at eight,
be (A flat major) cause I always (G major) do
My train, I'm certain, left the station
just when it was (C minor) due
I must have read the morning paper
going into (B flat major) town
And having gotten through the editorial,
no doubt I must (E flat major) have frowned
I must have made my desk
around a quarter after (B flat major) nine
With letters to be read,
and heaps of papers waiting to be (E flat major) signed
I (A flat major) must have gone to lunch
at (G minor) half past twelve or so
The usual (F minor) place, the usual bunch
And still on top of this
I'm pretty sure it must have (G major) rained
The day before you (C minor) came (C minor)
Verse 2
I (C minor) must have lit my seventh cigarette
at half past (G major) two
And at the time I never even noticed
I was (C minor) blue
I must have kept on dragging
through the business of the (B flat major) day
Without really knowing anything,
I hid a part of me a (E flat major) way
At five I must have left,
there's no exception to the (B flat major) rule
A matter of routine,
I've done it ever since I finished (E flat major) school
The (A flat major) train back home again
Un (G minor) doubtedly I must have read
the (F minor) evening paper then
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well
within its usual (G major) frame
Interlude 1
The day before
(C minor) (you came) (C minor) (G major) (G major)
(G major) (G major) (C minor) (C minor)
(Adim7) (Adim7) (C minor) (C minor)
(G major) (G major) (C minor) (C minor)
Verse 3
I (C minor) must have opened my front door
at (A flat major) eight o'clock or (G major) so
And stopped along the way
to buy some Chinese food to (C minor) go
I'm sure I had my dinner
watching something on T (B flat major) V
There's not, I think, a single
episode of Dallas that I didn't (E flat major) see
I must have gone to bed
around a quarter after (B flat major) ten
I need a lot of sleep,
and so I like to be in bed by (E flat major) then
I (A flat major) must have read a while
The (G minor) latest one by Marilyn French
or (F minor) something in that style
It's funny, but I had no sense of
living without (G major) aim
The day before you (C minor) came
And (A flat major) turning out the light
I (G minor) must have yawned and cuddled up
for (F minor) yet another night
And rattling on the roof
I must heard the sound of (G major) rain
Outro 1
The day before you
(C minor) (came) (C minor) (G major) (G major)
(G major) (G major) (C minor) (C minor)
(Adim7) (Adim7) (C minor) (C minor)
(G major) (G major)
(C minor) (C minor) (G major) (G major)
(G major) (G major) (C minor) (C minor)
(Adim7) (Adim7) (C minor) (C minor)
(G major) (G major)
(C minor) (C minor) (C minor) (C minor)
