The Day Before You Came Chords by Abba

[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I must have left my house at eight, [Ab] because I [G] always do.
_ _ _ _ _ My train, I'm certain, left the station just [Cm] when it was due. _
_ _ _ _ I must have read the morning paper going [Gm] into [Bb] town. _ _ _
_ _ And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt [Eb] I must have frowned.
I _ _ _ _ _ must have made my desk, a _ _ _ [Bb] room _ with _ _ letters to be read,
and heaps of papers waiting to be [Eb] signed. _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] I'm also the usual [Fm] place, the usual bunch. _
_ _ And still on top of this, I'm pretty sure it [G] might be the day _ _ _ [Cm] before you came.
_ _ I _ must have lit my seventh cigarette just half [G] past two.
_ _ _ _ _ And at the time I never even noticed [Cm] I was blue.
_ _ _ _ _ I must have kept on dragging through the business of [Bb] the day. _ _
_ _ _ Without really knowing anything, I hid a part [Eb] of me away. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
There's no exception to the [Bb] rule. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I've done it ever since I [Eb] finished school. _
_ _ The [Ab] train back _ [Eb] _
_ must have read [Fm] the evening paper then. _
_ _ _ Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual [G] frame.
_ _ _ The day [Cm] before you came. _ _ _ _

_ I must have opened my front [Ab] door at eight o'clock [G] or so. _ _ _ _ _
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese [Cm] food to go.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [Cm] I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on [Bb] TV. _ _ _
_ _ _ There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I [Eb] didn't see. _
I _ _ must have gone to bed _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] then. _ _
_ _ _ I need a lot of sleep and so I like to be in bed [Eb] by then. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ It's funny, but I had no sense of living [G] without aim. _ _ _
The day before [Cm] you came. _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] And turning up, _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ standing on the roof, I [Dm] must have heard the [G] sound of rain.
