The problem is all inside your head she said to me,
Em7                D       Cmaj7         Ebdim
The answer is easy if you take it logically.

There must be - fifty ways to leave your lover.


Em                 D           Cmaj7        B7   
You know it's really not my habit to intrude,
Em                 D           Cmaj7        Ebdim
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or miss-construed,
Em                 D           Cmaj7        B7  
But I'll repeat myself, at the risk of being crude.
          Em         Am7                Em
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
G      Am7                Em

Chorus X 2

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


Em                 D           Cmaj7        B7  
You know it grieves me so to see you in such pain
Em                 D           Cmaj7              Ebdim 
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again
Em                 D           Cmaj7            B7
I said "I appreciate that, and would you please explain
           Em    Am7     Em
'Bout the fifty ways"


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