ABBA: The day before you came


  Em                                                 B7
I must have left my house at eight because I always do

                                                         Em
My train I'm certain left the station just when 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

                                                 D7
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine

                                                            G
With letters to be read and heaps of papers waiting to be signed

   C
I must have gone to lunch

   Em                                Am
at half past twelve or so The usual place the usual bunch

    Am7                                                B7
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must 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

E Cdim Adim B7_ E Edim Em B7 Em  (*)

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
