I must have left my house at eight,
 A                Ab
 because I always do
   Ab                        
My train i,m certain left the 
         Ab               C#m
station just when it was due
  C#m                              
I must have read the morning paper 
C#m        B
going into town
B                             B  
Having gotten through the 
       B                     E
editorial, no doubt i,m I must have 
frowned
  E                     E         
I must have made my desk around a 
E             B
quarter after nine
     B                       B    
With letters to be read, and heaps
           B             E
 of papers waiting to be signed

E   A                 A        
  I must have gone to lunch at 
Ab                 C#m
half past twelve or so
          F#m              F#m
The usual place, the usual bunch
    F#                             
And still on top of this I'm pretty
 F#m               Ab
 sure it must have rained
                   C#m
The day before you came

  C#m                      A      
I must have lit my seventh 
                Ab
cigarette at half past two
    Ab                             
And at the time I never even 
        C#m
noticed I was blue
  C#m                              
I must have kept on dragging 
                      B
through the business of the day
B                                 
Without really knowing anything, I
                  E
 hid a part of me away
   E                               
At five I must have left, there's 
                   B
no exception to the rule
  B                              
A matter of routine, I've done it 
                       E
ever since I finished school

The train back home again
  C#m                            
Undoubtedly I must have read the 
F#m
evening paper then
   F#m                           
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well 
                  Ab
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     C#m      Ab      C#m
Ahhhhh  Ahhhhh   Ahhhh   Ahhhhh

  C#m                              
I must have opened my front door at
 A                Ab
 eight o'clock or so
    Ab                          
And stopped along the way to buy 
                      C#m
some Chinese food to go
    C#m                          
I'm sure I had my dinner watching 
              B
something on TV
        B                     
There's not, I think, a single 
                                 E
episode of Dallas that I didn't see
  E                             
I must have gone to bed around a 
               B
quarter after ten
  B                                
I need a lot of sleep, and so I 
                  E
like to be in bed by then

E   A                          
  I must have read a while the 
Ab            E                 
latest one by Marilyn French or 
F#m
something in that style
     F#m                         
It's funny, but I had no sense of 
                Ab
living without aim
                   C#m
The day before you came

And turning out the light
  C#m                            
I must have yawned and cuddled up 
     F#m
for yet another night
    F#m                            
And rattling on the roof I must 
                  Ab
have heard the sound of rain
                   C#m
The day before you came


C#m          Ab
Ohhhhh  ohhh ohhh
F#          C#m
Ohhhhhhhhh  hhhhhh
