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

-------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
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


-------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
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



ENJOY...........
