     "The problem is all inside your head", she said to me

Em                      |       |
   The answer is easy if you take it logically

Em                           |Cmaj7          
   I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free

      B7     |Em       Am7               |Em   |

     She said it's really not my habit to intrude

      |Em                          |       
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued

   |Em                     |Cmaj7         
But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude

      B7     |Em       Am7               |Em   |
There must be    fifty ways to leave your lover

       Am7               |Em

  B7            |Em                    |           |
I wish there was    something I could do to make you smile again

Em                           |Cmaj7              
   I said I appreciate that and would you please explain

About the fifty ways


                              |Cmaj7         
     She said why don't we both just sleep on it tonight

    B7 |Em                       |           
And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light

            |Em                        |Cmaj7        
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right
