[Verse 1]
Em D C B
"The problem is all inside your head", she said to me,
Em D C D#m
The answer is easy if you take it logically.
Em D C B
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free.
Em Am Em
There must be - fifty ways to leave your lover."
Em D C B
She said: "It's really not my habit to intrude,
Em D C D#m
Furthermore I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued,
Em D C B
But I'll repeat myself, at the risk of being crude.
Em Am Em
There must be - fifty ways to leave your lover,
Em Am Em
Fifty ways to leave your lover."
[Chorus]
G A#
Just slip out the back Jack, make a new plan Stan,
C G
No need to be coy Roy, just get yourself free
G A#
Hop on the bus Gus, you don't need to discuss much,
C G
Just drop off the key Lee, and get yourself free.
G A#
Slip out the back Jack, make a new plan Stan,
C G
You don't need to be coy Roy, you just listen to me.

Em D C D#m
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again."

Em Am Em
About the - fifty ways."
Em D C B
She said: "Why don't we both just sleep on it tonight,
Em D C D#m
And I believe that in the morning you'll begin to see the light."
Em D C B
Then she kissed me and I realised, she probably was right,

There must be fifty ways to leave your lover,
Em Am Em
Fifty ways to leave your lover.
