Day Before You Came (from Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again)

I must have left my house at eight (Bb)because I always (A)do.

My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was (Dm)due.

I must have read the morning papers,

going into (C)town

and (C7)having gotten through the editorial,

no doubt I must have (F)frowned.

see.

I must have made my desk around a quarter after (C)nine,

with (C7)letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be (F)signed.

I (Bb)must have gone to lunch at (F)halfpast twelve or so,

the usual (Gm)place, the usual bunch.

And still on top of this I'm pretty (E)sure it must have (A)rained

the day before you (Dm)came.

I must have lit my second (Bb)cigarette at halfpast (A)two.

And at the time I never even noticed I was (Dm)blue.

I must have kept on dragging through the business of the (C)day

and (C7)without really knowing anything I hid a part of me (F)away.

see.

At six I must have left,

there's no exception to the (C)rule.

A (C7)matter of routine I've done it ever since I finished (F)school.

The (Bb)train back home again, (F)undoubtedly I must have read the (Gm)evening papers then.

Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well (E)within its usual (A)frame

the day before you (Dm)came.

I came.

(Dm)I came.

And (Bb)turning out the light I (F)must have yawned and settled in for (Gm)yet another night.

And rattling on the roof I must have (E)heard the sound of (A)rain,

the day before you (Dm)came.
