The Day Before You Came

 Em 
I must have left my house at eight because I 
     H7 
always do 
My train I‘m certain left the station just when 
      Em 
it was due 
                                             D 
I must have read the morning paper going into town 
    G 
And having gotten through the editorial no doubt 
I must have frowned 
I must have made my desk around a quarter after 
D7 
nine 
     G 
With letters to be read and heaps of papers waiting to be signed 
  C 
I must have gone to lunch 
   Em 
At half past twelve or so The usual place the 
     Am 
usual bunch 
     Am7 
And still on top of this I‘m pretty sure it must 
     H7 
have rained 
                   Em 
The day before you came 
 
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two 
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue 
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day 
Without really knowing anything I hid a part of me away 
At five I must have left there‘s no exception to the rule 
A matter of routine I‘ve done it ever since I finished school 
The train back home again 
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then 
Oh yes I‘m sure my life was well within it‘s usual frame 
The day before you came

I must have opened my front door at eight o‘clock or so 
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go 
I‘m sure I had my dinner watching something on TV 
There‘s not I think a single episode of Dallas that I didn‘t see 
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten 
I need a lot of sleep and so I like to be in bed by then 
I must have read a while 
The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style 
It‘s funny but I had no sense of living without aim 
The day before you came 
 
And turning out the light 
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night 
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain 
The day before you came
