The Day Before You Came Chords by Meryl Streep

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

[Am] I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or [E] so,
_ _ _ _ _ and stopped along the way to buy some Chinese [Am] food to go. _ _
_ _ _ I'm sure I had my dinner [F] watching something [G] on TV. _ _ _ _
_ There's not a single episode of House of Cards that I [C] have failed to see. _ _ _
_ I must have gone to bed _ around a quarter [G] after ten. _ _ _
_ I need a lot of sleep and so I like to be in [C] bed by then. _ _ _
_ [F] I must have read one, [C] the latest Margaret Atwood book [Dm] or something in that style. _
_ It's funny but I had no sense of living [E] without _ aim.
_ The day [Am] before you came.
_ _ [C] _
[F] And turning out the [C] light, I must have yawned and settled [Dm] in for yet another night. _ _
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the [E] sound of rain.
_ _ The day [Am] before you came. _ _ _ _ _ _
