[Verse 1]
Em D Cmaj7 B7 "The problem is all inside your head", she said to me, Em7 D Cmaj7* Ebdim The answer is easy if you take it logically. Em7 D Cmaj7 B7 I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free. Em Am7 Em There must be - fifty ways to leave your lover." Em D Cmaj7 B7 She said: "It's really not my habit to intrude, Em D Cmaj7* Ebdim Furthermore I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued, Em D Cmaj7 B7 But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude. Em Am7 Em There must be - fifty ways to leave your lover, Em Am7 Em Fifty ways to leave your lover."
[Chorus]
G Bb Just slip out the back Jack, make a new plan Stan, C7 G No need to be coy Roy, just get yourself free G Bb Hop on the bus Gus, you don't need to discuss much, C7 G Just drop off the key Lee, and get yourself free. G Bb Slip out the back Jack, make a new plan Stan, C7 G You don't need to be coy Roy, you just listen to me. G Bb Hop on the bus Gus, you don't need to discuss much, C7 G Just drop off the key Lee, and get yourself free.
[Verse 2]
Em D Cmaj7 B7 She said: "It grieves me so to see you in such pain. Em D Cmaj7* Ebdim I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again." Em D Cmaj7 B7 I said: "I appreciate that and would you please explain Em Am7 Em (Em) About the - fifty ways." Em D Cmaj7 B7 She said: "Why don't we both just sleep on it tonight, Em D Cmaj7* Ebdim And I believe that in the morning you'll begin to see the light." Em D Cmaj7 B7 Then she kissed me and I realised, she probably was right, Em Am7 Em There must be fifty ways to leave your lover, Em Am7 Em Fifty ways to leave your lover.
[Chorus]
G Bb Just slip out the back Jack, make a new plan Stan, C7 G You don't need to be coy Roy, and get yourself free. G Bb Hop on the bus Gus, you don't need to discuss much. C7 G Just drop off the key Lee, and set yourself free. G Bb Just slip out the back Jack, make a new plan Stan, C7 G No need to be coy Roy, just listen to me. G Bb Hop on the bus Gus, don't need to discuss much, C7 G Just drop off the key Lee, and set yourself free.
