The Day Before You Came Chords by Blancmange

_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I [C] must have left my house [Ab] at eight because I always [G] do _
My _ _ _ train I'm certain left the station just when [C] it was due
[Cm] _ _ _ _
_ I must have read the morning paper [G] flowing in [Bb] town
_ _ _ _ _ And having gotten through the editorial no doubt I [Eb] must have frowned
_ _ _ _ I must have made my desk around the quarter [Bb] after nine
_ _ _ _ With letters to be read and heaps of papers waiting [Eb] to be signed
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] I must have gone to lunch [Eb] and half past twelve I sold the usual [Fm] place the usual bunch
_ _ And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it [G] must have rained _ _ _ 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 through
_ _ _ _ _ I must have kept from dragging through the business [Bb] of the day _ _
_ _ _ Without really knowing anything I hid a part of me [Eb] away _
At _ _ five I must have left there's no exception to the rule
[Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [Ebm] A matter of routine I've done it ever since I finished [Eb] school _ _ _
The [Ab] train back home again [Eb] undoubtedly I must have [Fm] read the evening paper then
Oh _ yes I'm sure my life was well within [G] its usual frame the _ day [Cm] before you came _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ _ _ I must have opened my front door at eight o [G]'clock or so _
_ _ _ And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food [Cm] 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 [Eb] didn't see
_ _ _ _ I must have gone to bed _ around the quarter [Bb] after ten
_ _ _ _ I need a lot of sleep so I like to be in bed [Eb] by then
_ I _ _ [Ab] must have read a while the latest [Eb] one by Barbara [Fm] Carlin or something in that [Cm] style
_ It's funny but I have no sense of living [G] without pain _ _ the [Cm] day before you came _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] And turning out the lights [Eb] I must have yawned and cuddled [Fm] up for yet another night _ _
_ And rattling on the roof I [D] must have heard the [G] sound of rain _ _ [E] the day [Cm] before you came _ _ _ _ _ _
