Fifty ways to leave your lover
Paul Simon
[Em] The problem is [G]all inside your [C]head she said to [B]me
[Em] The answer is [G]easy if you [A]take it logica[B]lly
[Em] I’d like to [G]help you in your [C]struggle to be [B]free
There must be... [Em] fifty [A]ways to leave your [Em]lover
[Em] She said it’s [G]really not my [C]habit to in[B]trude
And further[Em]more, I hope my [G]meaning won’t be [B]lost or misconstrued
But I’ll re[Em]peat myself... [B] at the [C]risk of being [B]crude
There must be... [Em] fifty [A]ways to leave your [Em]lover
Fifty [A]ways to leave your [Em]lover
Chorus:
You just slip out the [G]back, Jack
Make a new [Bb]plan, Stan
You don’t need to be [C]coy, Roy
Just get yourself [G]free (2nd time; Just listen to [G]me)
Hop on the [G]bus, Gus
You don’t need to [Bb]discuss mu-u-uch
Just drop off the [C]key, Lee
And get yourself [G]free
Chorus:
[Em] She said it [G]grieves me so to [C]see you in such [B]pain
I wish there was [Em]something I could [G]do to [B]make you smile again
I said [Em]‘I appreciate that’ [G] and [C]would you please ex[B]plain
About the... fifty [Em]ways.. [A] [Em]
[Em] She said why [G]don’t we both just [C]sleep on it to[B]night
And I [Em]believe that in the [G]morning you’ll be[A]gin to see the [B]light
And then she [Em]kissed me... and I [G]realised she [C]probably was [B]right
There must be... [Em] fifty [A]ways to leave your [Em]lover
Fifty [A]ways to leave your [Em]lover
