CAPO 5
[Verse]
Bm A Gmaj7 A#m6/E
The problem is all inside your head she said to me,
Bm A F#m7 A#/F# F#
The answer is easy if you take it logically.
Bm A Gmaj7 A#m6/E
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free.
Bm Em/C# Bm
There must be - fifty ways to leave your lover.
Bm A Gmaj7 A#m6/E
You know it's really not my habit to intrude,
Bm A F#m7 A#/F# F#
Furthermore I hope my meaning won't be lost or miss-construed,
Bm A Gmaj7 A#m6/E
But I'll repeat myself, at the risk of being crude.
Bm Em/C# Bm
There must be - fifty ways to leave your lover
Bm Em/C# Bm
Fifty ways to leave your lover
[Refrain]
D F
Just slip out the back jack, make a new plan stan,
G7/D D
No need to be coy Roy, just listen to me
D F
Hop on the bus gus, don't need to discuss much,
G7/D D
Just drop off the key Lee, and set yourself free
x2
[Verse]
Bm A Gmaj7 A#m6/E
You know it grieves me so to see you in such pain
Bm A F#m7 A#/F# F#
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again
Bm A Gmaj7 A#m6/E
I said "I appreciate that, and would you please explain
Bm Em/C# Bm
'Bout the fifty ways"
Bm A Gmaj7 A#m6/E
She said "why don't we both just sleep on it tonight,
Bm A F#m7 A#/F# F#
And I believe that in the morning you'll begin to see the light."
Bm A Gmaj7 A#m6/E
She kissed me and I realised, she probably was right,
Bm Em/C# Bm
There must be - fifty ways to leave your lover.
Bm Em/C# Bm
Fifty ways to leave your lover
[Refrain]
D F
Just slip out the back jack, make a new plan stan,
G7/D D
No need to be coy Roy, just listen to me
D F
Hop on the bus gus, don't need to discuss much,
G7/D D
Just drop off the key Lee, and set yourself free
