Steven Wilson – The Day Before You Came (Guitar)

  C#m                               A                Ab
I must have left my house at eight, because I always do

   Ab                                 Ab               C#m
My train i,m certain left the station just when it was due

  C#m                              C#m        B
I must have read the morning paper going into town

B                             B         B                     E
Having gotten through the editorial, no doubt i,m I must have frowned

  E                     E         E             B
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine

     B                       B               B             E
With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed

E   A                 A        Ab                 C#m
  I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so

          F#m              F#m
The usual place, the usual bunch

    F#                              F#m               Ab
And still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained

                   C#m
The day before you came

  C#m                      A                      Ab
I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two

    Ab                                     C#m
And at the time I never even noticed I was blue

  C#m                                                    B
I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day

B                                                   E
Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me away

   E                                                  B
At five I must have left, there's no exception to the rule

  B                                                     E
A matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school

    A
The train back home again

  C#m                            F#m
Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then

   F#m                                             Ab
Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within its usual frame

                   C#m
The day before you came

C#m          Ab
Ohhhhh  ohhh ohhh

F#m   B     C#m
Ohhhhhhhhh  hhhhhh

C#m     C#m      Ab      C#m
Ahhhhh  Ahhhhh   Ahhhh   Ahhhhh

  C#m                               A                Ab
I must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so

    Ab                                                C#m
And stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go

    C#m                                        B
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV

        B                                                      E
There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see

  E                                            B
I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten

  B                                                  E
I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then 

E   A                          Ab            E                 F#m
  I must have read a while the latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style

     F#m                                         Ab
It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim

                   C#m
The day before you came

    A
And turning out the light

  C#m                                 F#m
I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night

    F#m                                              Ab
And rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain

                   C#m
The day before you came

C#m          Ab
Ohhhhh  ohhh ohhh

F#          C#m
Ohhhhhhhhh  hhhhhh

A       C#m      C#m     Ab       C#m
Ahhhhh  Ahhhhh   Ahhhh   Ahhhhh   Ahhhhh
