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

There must be - fifty ways to leave your lover


Em                 D           Cmaj7        B7   
You know it's really not my habit to intrude
Em                 D           Cmaj7        Ebdim
Furthermore I hope my meaning won't be lost or miss-construed
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
G      Am7                Em
Fifty ways to leave your lover


Chorus X 2

                      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


Em                 D           Cmaj7        B7  
You know 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
Bout 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
She kissed me and I realized she probably was right
           Em                Am7       Em 
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
G         Am7             Em

About this song

"50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" is a 1975 hit song by Paul Simon, from his album Still Crazy After All These Years. Backing vocals on the single were performed by Patti Austin, Valerie Simpson and Phoebe Snow.Written after Simon's divorce from first wife Peggy Harper, the song is a mistress's humorous advice to a husband on ways to end a relationship: Just slip out the back, Jack/Make a new plan, Stan. The song is anchored by a "linear" drum pattern performed by studio drummer Steve Gadd, which became the hook and color for the song. Read more on Last.fm.
