[Verse 1]
Em/G "The problem is
D6 Cmaj7
all inside your head",
B7-9 B7
she said to me Em D#dim7 The answer is easy if you
F#dim7 B+
take it logically Em D6 I'd like to help you in your
Cmaj7 B7-9
struggle to be free B7 Em Am7 Em There must be fifty ways to leave your lover Em/G D6 She said it's really not
Cmaj7 B7-9 B7
my habit to intrude Em D#dim7 Furthermore, I hope my meaning
F#dim7 B+
won't be lost or misconstrued Em D6 But I'll repeat myself at
Cmaj7 B7-9
the risk of being crude B7 Em Am7 There must be fifty ways to
Em
leave your lover Am7 Em Fifty ways to leave your lover [Chorus]
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 [Chorus]
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 She said it grieves me so to
Cmaj7 B7-9
see you in such pain B7 Em I wish there was something
D#dim7
I could do to
F#dim7 B+
make you smile again Em D6 I said I appreciate that and
Cmaj7 B7-9
would you please explain B7 Em Am7 Em About the fifty ways [Verse 2]
Em/G D6 She said why don't
Cmaj7 B7-9
we both just sleep on it tonight B7 Em D#dim7 And I believe in the morning
F#dim7 B+
you'll begin to see the light Em D6 And then she kissed me and I realized
Cmaj7 B7-9
she probably was right B7 Em Am7 There must be fifty ways to leave
Em
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 [Chorus]
G You 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
