verse 1 

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



[Refrão]

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


                                            
verse 2 

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


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


                                            
verse 3 

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

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


                                            
BRIDGE 

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


C#m          Ab 
Ohhhhh  ohhh ohhh 
F#          C#m 
Ohhhhhhhhh  hhhhhh 
A       C#m      C#m     Ab       C#m 
Ahhhhh  Ahhhhh   Ahhhh   Ahhhhh   Ahhhhh
