The problem is all inside your head she said to me  /  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 / 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

You just slip out the back, Jack / Make a new plan, Stan /  You don't need to be coy, Roy / Just get yourself free
G                                                                                             Bb6                                                         C7                                                       Em

Hop on the bus, Gus / You don't need to discuss much / Just drop off the key, Lee / And get yourself free  (repeat)

She said it grieves me
so to see you in such pain / I wish there was something I could do / to make you smile again
I said I appreciate that and would you please explain / About the fifty ways -------------

She said why don't we both just sleep on it tonight / And I believe 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      Chorus
