[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

[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.
