[Cm]
I must have left my house at eight, cause [G] I always do
My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was [Cm] due
I must have read the morning paper going into [Bb] town
And having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I [Bbm] must have [Eb] frowned
I must have made my desk the wrong way from room [Db] to [Bb] room
With letters to be read and heaps of papers waiting to be [Eb] signed
I [Ab] must have gone to lunch [Eb] at half past twelve also, [Fm] the usual place, the usual bunch
And still on top of this [D] I'm pretty sorry
[G]
The day [Cm] before you came
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at 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 [Bb] of the day
Without really knowing anything I departed [Eb] me away
There's no exception to the [Bb] rule
A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I [Eb] finished school
[Ab] I'm trained back home again, [Eb] undoubtedly I must have [Fm] read the evening paper then
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its [G] usual frame
The day [Cm] before you came

Must [Cm]
have opened [Ab] my front door at eight o [G]'clock or so
And stopped along the way to buy some [Cm] Chinese food to go
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something [Bb] on TV
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't [Eb] see
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after [Bb] ten
I need a lot of sleep and so I like to be in [Eb] bed by ten
I
[Ab] [Eb]
[Fm] found something in that style, it's funny
But I had no sense of [D] living [G] without aim
The day [Cm] before you came
And [Ab] turning out the light, I [Eb] must have yawned
[Fm]
Rattling on the roof, I [Dm] must have heard the sound [G] of rain
