[Verse 1]

Em                 D               
  "The problem is all inside your 
Cmaj7               B7
head", she said to me,
Em7               D          Cmaj7
  The answer is easy if you take 
*         Ebdim
it logically.
Em7             D                Cmaj7  
  I'd like to help you in your struggle
       B7
to be free.
                Em       Am7           
  There must be - fifty ways to leave 
    Em
your lover."

Em                  D            Cmaj7 
  She said: "It's really not my habit 
      B7
to intrude,
         Em              D            
  Furthermore I hope my meaning won't 
  Cmaj7*          Ebdim
be lost or misconstrued,
             Em          D          
  But I'll repeat myself     at the 
Cmaj7           B7
risk of being crude.
               Em        Am7           
  There must be - fifty ways to leave 
    Em
your lover,
Em        Am7                Em
   Fifty ways to leave your lover."


[Chorus]

                 G                     
Just slip out the back Jack, make a new 
Bb
plan Stan,
             C7                        
No need to be coy Roy, just get yourself
G
free
          G                          
Hop on the bus Gus, you don't need to 
  Bb
discuss much,
                 C7               
Just drop off the key Lee, and get 
        G
yourself free.

            G                     Bb
Slip out the back Jack, make a new plan 
Stan,
                    C7                
You don't need to be coy Roy, you just 
         G
listen to me.
          G                          
Hop on the bus Gus, you don't need to 
  Bb
discuss much,
                 C7               
Just drop off the key Lee, and get 
        G
yourself free.


[Verse 2]

Em                D               Cmaj7
  She said: "It grieves me so to see 
           B7
you in such pain.
                Em                  D  
  I wish there was something I could do
   Cmaj7*           Ebdim
to make you smile again."
         Em                  D       
  I said: "I appreciate that     and 
Cmaj7                B7
would you please explain
                    Em      Am7     Em 
  About the - fifty ways."
(Em)

Em                D                  
  She said: "Why don't we both just 
Cmaj7          B7
sleep on it tonight,
          Em                D          
  And I believe that in the morning 
     Cmaj7*          Ebdim
you'll begin to see the light."
           Em              D          
  Then she kissed me and I realised, 
  Cmaj7            B7
she probably was right,
                Em      Am7            
  There must be   fifty ways to leave 
    Em
your lover,
Em        Am7                 Em
    Fifty ways to leave your lover.


[Chorus]

                 G                     
Just slip out the back Jack, make a new 
Bb
plan Stan,
                    C7               
You don't need to be coy Roy, and get 
         G
yourself free.
          G                          
Hop on the bus Gus, you don't need to 
  Bb
discuss much.
                 C7               
Just drop off the key Lee, and set 
         G
yourself free.

                 G                     
Just slip out the back Jack, make a new 
Bb
plan Stan,
             C7                      
No need to be coy Roy, just listen to 
G
me.
          G                      
Hop on the bus Gus, don't need to 
  Bb
discuss much,
                 C7               
Just drop off the key Lee, and set 
    G
yourself free.
