[Verse 1]

Em                 D               Cmaj7               B7
   "The problem is all inside your head", she said to me,
Em7               D          Cmaj7*         Ebdim
   The answer is easy if you take it logically.
Em7             D                Cmaj7          B7
   I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free.
                 Em       Am7                Em
   There must be - fifty ways to leave your lover."

Em                  D            Cmaj7        B7
   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,
              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,
Em        Am7                Em
   Fifty ways to leave your lover."


[Chorus]

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

             G                     Bb
Slip out the back Jack, make a new plan Stan,
                     C7                          G
You don't need to be coy Roy, you just listen to me.
           G                             Bb
Hop on the bus Gus, you don't need to discuss much,
                  C7                        G
Just drop off the key Lee, and get yourself free.


[Verse 2]

Em                D               Cmaj7            B7
   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."
          Em                  D       Cmaj7                B7
   I said: "I appreciate that     and would you please explain
                     Em      Am7     Em  (Em)
   About 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
   Then she kissed me and I realised, she probably was right,
                 Em      Am7                 Em
   There must be   fifty ways to leave your lover,
Em        Am7                 Em
    Fifty ways to leave your lover.


[Chorus]

                  G                     Bb
Just slip out the back Jack, make a new plan Stan,
                     C7                         G
You don't need to be coy Roy, and get yourself free.
           G                             Bb
Hop on the bus Gus, you don't need to discuss much.
                  C7                         G
Just drop off the key Lee, and set yourself free.

                  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.
