I'm not certain of any special procedures to posting lyrics since I'm new to
this group, but I saw two requests to have this posted and this is the
way I like to read music, so here goes:
Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover
Words and Music by Paul Simon, 1975
Em/G D6 CM7 B7-9 B7
"The problem is all inside your head," she said to me
Em D#dim7 GM9+5 B+
"the answer is easy if you take it logic'lly.
Em D6 CM7 B7-9
I'm here to help you if you're struggling to be free;
B7 Em Am7 Em
there must be fifty ways to leave your lover."
Em/G D6 CM7 B7-9 B7
She said, "It's really not my habit to intrude;
Em D#dim7 GM9+5 B+
I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued.
Em D6 CM7 B7-9
But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude;
B7 Em Am7 Em
there must be fifty ways to leave your lover."
Em Am7 Em
fifty ways to leave your lover."
G
Just slip out the back, Jack.
Bb6
Make a new plan, Stan;
C7
You don't need to be coy, Roy,
G
just get yourself free. (on repeat: Just listen to me)
G
Hop on the bus, Gus;
Bb6
You don't need to discuss much;
C7
Just drop off the key, Lee.
G
and get yourself free.
REPEAT CHORUS
Second verse:
She said, "It grieves me now to see you in such pain; I
wish there was somethin' I could do to make you smile again."
I said, "I appreciate that, and could you please explain about the
fifty ways?"
She said, "Why don't we both just sleep on it tonight;
I'm sure 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."
REPEAT CHORUS twice.
