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."

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

                     C7                          G 
You don't need to be coy Roy, you just listen to me. 
           G                             Bb

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.
