"The problem is all inside your head," she said to me
Ddim7 [Gm9]+5 [B]+
"the answer is easy if you take it logic'lly.
I'm here to help you if you're struggling to be free;
there must be fifty ways to leave your lover."
She said, "It's really not my habit to intrude;
Ddim7 [Gm9]+5 [B]+
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."
Just slip out the back, Jack.
Make a new plan, Stan;
You don't need to be coy, Roy,
just get yourself free. (on repeat: 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.
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.

Hope these help, and I hope they're right! Some of them are just plain
bizarre, so your guess is probably as good as mine. Happy fingering!
