[Cm]
[Ab] [G]
[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
