The day before you came Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
I [Am]must have left my house at eight,
be[F]cause I always [E]do
My train, I'm certain, left the station
just when it was [Am]due
I must have read the morning paper
going into [G]town
And having gotten through the editorial,
no doubt I must [C]have 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
I [F]must have gone to lunch
at [Em]half past twelve or so
The usual [Dm]place, the usual bunch
And still on top of this
I'm pretty sure it must have [E]rained
The day before you [Am]came[Am]

[Verse 2]
I [Am]must have lit my seventh 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 a[C]way
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
The [F]train back home again
Un[Em]doubtedly I must have read
the [Dm]evening paper then
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well
within its usual [E]frame

[Interlude 1]
The day before
[Am](you [Am]came)[E][E]

[E][E][Am][Am]

[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 T[G]V
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
I [F]must have read a while
The [Em]latest one by Marilyn French
or [Dm]something in that style
It's funny, but I had no sense of
living without [E]aim
The day before you [Am]came
And [F]turning out the light
I [Em]must have yawned and cuddled up
for [Dm]yet another night
And rattling on the roof
I must heard the sound of [E]rain

[Outro 1]
