Fifty Ways To Leave

(Em/G) (D6) CM7 (B7)-9 (B7) 
"The problem is all inside your head," she said to me 
 
(Em) (D#dim7) GM9+5 (B)+ 
"the answer is easy if you take it logic‘lly. 
 
(Em) (D6) CM7 (B7)-9 
I‘m here to help you if you‘re struggling to be free; 
 
(B7) (Em) (Am7) (Em) 
there must be fifty ways to leave your lover." 
 
 
(Em/G) (D6) CM7 (B7)-9 (B7) 
She said, "It‘s really not my habit to intrude; 
 
(Em) (D#dim7) GM9+5 (B)+ 
I hope my meaning won‘t be lost or misconstrued. 
 
(Em) (D6) CM7 (B7)-9 
But I‘ll repeat myself at the risk of being crude; 
 
(B7) (Em) (Am7) (Em) 
there must be fifty ways to leave your lover." 
 
(Em) (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. (on repeat: Just listen to me) 
 
(G) 
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. 
 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
 
 
Second verse: 
 
She said, "It grieves me now to see you in such pain; I 
wish there was somethin‘ I could do to make you smile again." 
I said, "I appreciate that, and could you please explain about the 
fifty ways?" 
 
She said, "Why don‘t we both just sleep on it tonight; 
I‘m sure in the morning you‘ll begin to see the light." 
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right; there must be 
fifty ways to leave your lover, 
fifty ways to leave your lover." 
 
REPEAT CHORUS twice.
