Verse 1:
I [Am]must have left my house at eight, [F]because I always [E]do
My train i,m certain left the station just when it was [Am]due
I [Am]must have read the morning paper going into [G]town
Having gotten through the editorial, no doubt i,m I must have [C]frowned
I must have made my desk around a quarter after [G]nine
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be [C]signed
Chorus:
I [F]must have gone to lunch at [E]half past twelve or [Am]so
The usual [Dm]place, the usual bunch
And [D]still on top of this I’m pretty [B7]sure it must have [E]rained
The day before you [Am]came
Verse 2:
I [Am]must have lit my seventh [F]cigarette at half past [E]two
And at the time I never even noticed I was [Am]blue
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the [G]day
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me [C]away
At five I must have left, there’s no exception to the [G]rule
A matter of routine, I’ve done it ever since I finished [C]school
Bridge:
The [F]train back home again
[Am]Undoubtedly I must have read the [Dm]evening paper then
Oh yes, I’m sure my life was well within its usual [E]frame
The day before you [Am]came
[Am]Ohhhhh ohhh [E]ohhh
[Dm][G]Ohhhhhhhhh [Am]hhhhhh
[Am]Ahhhhh [Am]Ahhhhh [E]Ahhhh [Am]Ahhhhh
Verse 3:
I [Am]must have opened my front door at [F]eight o’clock or [E]so
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to [Am]go
I’m sure I had my dinner watching something on [G]TV
There’s not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn’t [C]see
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after [G]ten
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by [C]then
Chorus:
I [F]must have read a while the [E]latest one by [Am]Marilyn
French or [Dm]something in that style
It’s funny, but I had no sense of [B7]living without [E]aim
The day before you [Am]came
Bridge:
And [F]turning out the light
I [Am]must have yawned and cuddled up for [Dm]yet another night
And rattling on the roof I must have [B7]heard the sound [E]of rain
The day before you [Am]came
[Am]Ohhhhh ohhh [E]ohhh
[D]Ohhhhhhhhh [Am]hhhhhh
[F]Ahhhhh [Am]Ahhhhh [Am]Ahhhh [E]Ahhhhh [Am]Ahhhhh
