| "The problem is | all inside your | head", she said to | me, |
| Am | Ab-o | B-o | E+ |
| The answer is | easy if you | take it logica | lly. |
| Am | G6 | Fmaj7 | E7 |
| I'd like to | help you in your | struggle to be | free. |
| E7 | Am | Dm7 | Am | |

| Am | G6 | Fmaj7 | E7 |
| She said: "It's | really not my | habit to intr | ude, |
| Am | Ab-o | B-0 | E7 | |
| Furthermore | I hope my | meaning won't be | lost or misconstr | ued, |
| Am | G6 | Fmaj7 | E7 | |
| But | I'll repeat my | self at the | risk of being | crude. |

| Chorus: |
| C | Eb6 | |
| Just slip out the | back Jack, make a new | plan Stan, |
| F7 | C | |
| No need to be | coy Roy, just get yourself | free |
| C | Eb6 | |
| Hop on the | bus Gus, you don't need to dis | cuss much, |
| F7 | C | |
| Just drop off the | key Lee, and get yourself | free. |
| C | Eb6 | |
| Just slip out the | back Jack, make a new | plan Stan, |
| F7 | C | |
| No need to be | coy Roy, just listen to | me |
| C | Eb6 | |

| Am | G6 | Fmaj7 | E7 |
| She said: "It | grieves me so | to see you in such | pain. |
| Am | Ab-o | B-o | E+ | |
| I wish there was | something I could | do to | make you smile | again." |
| Am | G6 | Fmaj7 | E7 | |
| I said: | "I appreciate | that and | would you please | explain |
| Am | Dm7 | Am |
| About the - fifty | ways." |
| Am | G6 | Fmaj7 | E7 |
| She said: "Why | don't we both just | sleep on it | tonight, |
| Am | Ab-o | B-o | E+ | |
| And I | believe that in the | morning you'll | begin to see the | light." |
| Am | G6 | Fmaj7 | E7 | |
| Then she | kissed me and I | realised, she | probably was | right, |
| Am | Dm7 | Am | |
| There must be | fifty | ways to leave your | lover, |
| Am | Dm7 | Am |
| Fifty | ways to leave your | lover. |
