E5            D5               C5                B5   B5
"The problem is all inside your head," she said to me
E5              D#5     G5           B5
"the answer is easy if you take it logic'lly.
E5          D5                 C5             B5    
I'm here to help you if you're struggling to be free;
       B5     E5    A5                E5
there must be fifty ways to leave your lover."
 

E5            D5            C5         B5   B5
She said, "It's really not my habit to intrude;
E5        D#5           G5           B5
I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued.
     E5           D5          C5           B5    
But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude;
       B5     E5    A5                E5
there must be fifty ways to leave your lover."
E5    A5                E5
fifty ways to leave your lover."
 

                  G5
Just slip out the back, Jack.
           Bb5 
Make a new plan, Stan;
                     C5
You don't need to be coy, Roy,
                  G5
just get yourself free.    (on repeat:  Just listen to me)
 
 
           G5
Hop on the bus, Gus;
                     Bb5 
You don't need to discuss much;
                  C5
Just drop off the key, Lee.
                  G5
and get yourself free.
 
REPEAT CHORUS
 
 
Second verse:
 
She said, "It grieves me now to see you in such pain; I
wish there was somethin' I could do to make you smile again."
I said, "I appreciate that, and could you please explain about the
fifty ways?"
 
She said, "Why don't we both just sleep on it tonight;
I'm sure in the morning you'll begin to see the light."
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right; there must be
fifty ways to leave your lover,
fifty ways to leave your lover."
 
REPEAT CHORUS twice.
