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
