[Cm] _ I _ _ _ _ _ must have read the morning paper going into [Bb]
town
_ _ _ _ _ Which had been gotten through the editorial no doubt
[Eb] _
_ _ _ I _ _ must have made my desk _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ with _ letters to be read
And heaps of papers waiting [Eb] to be signed _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] I must _ _ _ _ have [Fm] used a blade to make a sponge _ _ _
As still on some old [D] sandwich [G] ovens
_ _ _ The day before [Cm] the day before the day
I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ read the cat _ _ _ _ _ _ comics every time I never even noticed
[Cm] I _ _ must _ _ _ _ have fled from writing through the business of [Bb] the day _ _ _
_ _ Without really knowing anything I knew
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
There's no exception _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ to the routine I've done it ever since I've [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ grown
_ _ _ Oh yes, I've shown the life of [Dm] wealth in its use or [G] frame _ _ _ _
The day [Cm] before the day _

_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I must have opened my front [Ab] door and paid a [G] flat parcel _ _ _
_ _ _ Stopped around the way to buy some [Cm] Chinese food for the whole world _ _ _
_ I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on [Bb] TV _ _ _ _ _ _
There's not a thing to see or let you soak the best that I [Eb] didn't see
I'm _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ not a sling and so I like to be [Eb] in bed by day _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
I've never [Fm] shown such feeling of sight _
Oh, it's funny, but I had no [D] sense of feeling [G] about pain
The _ _ day [Cm] before you came
I [G] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ must have [Dm] heard the sound of [G] rain
The _ _ day [Cm] before you came
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
