  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

  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
