Verse 1
I (A minor) must have left my house at eight,
because (F major) I always (E major) do
My train, I'm certain,
left the station just when it was (A minor) due
I must have read the morning
paper going into town (G major)
And having gotten through the editorial,
no doubt I must have (C major) frowned
Verse 2
I (C major) must have made my desk
around a quarter after nine (G major)
With letters to be read,
and heaps of papers waiting to be signed (C major)
I (F major) must have gone to lunch at half (E major)
past twelve or (A minor) so
The usual (D minor) place, the usual bunch
And still on top of this I'm pretty
sure (Bdim) it must have (E major) rained

Verse 3
(A minor)
I must have lit my seventh
cigarette at half past (E major) two
And at the time I never
even noticed I was (A minor) blue
I must have kept on dragging through
the business of the day (G major)
Without really knowing anything,
I hid a part of me away
(C major)
Verse 4
At five I must have left,
there's no exception to the (G major) rule
A matter of routine,
I've done it ever since I finished school (C major)
The train (F major) back home again
Undoubtedly (C major) I must have read (A minor)
the (D minor) evening paper then
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well
with (Bdim) in it's usual frame (E major)
The day before (A minor) you came
Interlude 1
(A minor) (G sharpdim) (Fdim)
(Bdim) (E major) (A minor)
(F sharpdim) (A minor)
(E major) (A minor)
Verse 5
I must have opened my (A minor) front door at
(F major) eight o'clock or so (E major)
And stopped along the way to buy
some Chinese food to (A minor) go (F major) (A minor)
I'm sure I had my dinner watching
something on TV (G major)
There's not, I think,
a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
(C major)
Verse 6
I must have gone to bed
around a quarter after ten (G major)
I need a lot of sleep,
and so I like to be in bed (C major) by then
I must (F major) have read a while
The latest (C major) one (F major) by Mar (C major) ilyn (A minor) French
(D minor) or something in that style
It's funny, but I had no sense
of (Bdim) living without (E major) aim
The day before (A minor) you came
Verse 7
(A minor)
And turning (F major) out the light
I must (A minor) have yawned (F major) (A minor) an d cuddled
up for (D minor) yet another night
And rattling on the roof I must
have heard (Bdim) the sound (E major) of rain
The day before (A minor) you came
Outro 1
(A minor) (G sharpdim)
(Fdim) (E major)
(A minor) (F sharpdim)
(A minor) (A minor) (E major)
