Em/G D6 |Cmaj7 B7/9- B7|
"The problem is all inside your head", she said to me
Em D#7 |Gmaj9/5+ B+|
The answer is easy if you take it logically
Em D6 |Cmaj7 B7/9-
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
B7 |Em Am7 |Em |
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Em/G D6 |Cmaj7 B7/9- B7
She said it's really not my habit to intrude
|Em D#7 |Gmaj9/5+ B+
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
|Em D6 |Cmaj7 B7/9-
But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude
B7 |Em Am7 |Em |
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Am7 |Em
Fifty ways to leave your lover
|G |
Just slip out the back, Jack
|Bb6 |
Make a new plan, Stan
|C7 |
You don't need to be coy, Roy
|G
Just get yourself free
| |
Hop on the bus, Gus
|Bb6 |
You don't need to discuss much
|C7 |
Just drop off the key, Lee
|G |
And get yourself free
|G |
Just slip out the back, Jack
|Bb6 |
Make a new plan, Stan
|C7 |
You don't need to be coy, Roy
|G
Just get yourself free
| |
Hop on the bus, Gus
|Bb6 |
You don't need to discuss much
|C7 |
Just drop off the key, Lee
|G | | | |
And get yourself free
Em/G D6 |Cmaj7 B7/9-
She said it grieves me so to see you in such pain
B7 |Em D#7 |Gmaj9/5+ B+ |
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again
Em D6 |Cmaj7 B7/9-
I said I appreciate that and would you please explain
B7 |Em Am7 Em |
About the fifty ways
Em/G D6 |Cmaj7 B7/9-
She said why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
B7 |Em D#7 |Gmaj9/5+ B+
And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light
|Em D6 |Cmaj7 B7/9-
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right
B7 |Em Am7 |Em |
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Am7 |Em
Fifty ways to leave your lover
