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