Verse 1
"The problem is all inside your head", she said to me,
Em7 D Cmaj7* Ebdim
The answer is easy if you take it logically.
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free.
There must be - fifty ways to leave your lover."
She said: "It's really not my habit to intrude,
Em D Cmaj7* Ebdim
Furthermore I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued,
But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude.
There must be - fifty ways to leave your lover,
Fifty ways to leave your lover."
Chorus
Just slip out the back Jack, make a new plan Stan,
No need to be coy Roy, just get yourself free
Hop on the bus Gus, you don't need to discuss much,
Just drop off the key Lee, and get yourself free.
Slip out the back Jack, make a new plan Stan,
You don't need to be coy Roy, you just listen to me.
Hop on the bus Gus, you don't need to discuss much,
Just drop off the key Lee, and get yourself free.
Verse 2
She said: "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."
I said: "I appreciate that and would you please explain
Em Am7 Em (Em)
About the - fifty ways."
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."
Then she kissed me and I realised, she probably was right,
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover,
Fifty ways to leave your lover.
Chorus
Just slip out the back Jack, make a new plan Stan,
You don't need to be coy Roy, and get yourself free.
Hop on the bus Gus, you don't need to discuss much.
Just drop off the key Lee, and set yourself free.
Just slip out the back Jack, make a new plan Stan,
No need to be coy Roy, just listen to me.
Hop on the bus Gus, don't need to discuss much,
Just drop off the key Lee, and set yourself free.
