RAYE – Escapism (ft. 070 Shake)
Key: E Minor BPM: ♩ = 96 Time: 4/4
|Em     |Em     |Em     |Em     |

|Em                                       |Em                                    |
 Sleazin' and teasin', I'm sittin' on him, all of my diamonds are drippin' on him
 |Em                                        |
I met him at the bar, it was 12 or somethin’
         |Em                                        |
I ordered two more wines, 'cause tonight, I want him

 |Em                                     |Em                            |
A little context if you care to listen, I find myself in a shit position
   |D                                             |D                                    |
The man that I love sat me down last night, and he told me that it's over, dumb decision
   |Am                                                 |
And I don't wanna feel how my heart is rippin’, in fact
|Am                                       |
 I don't wanna feel, so I stick to sippin'
       |Em                                   |
And I'm out on the town with a simple mission
     |Bm                                          |
In my little black dress, and this shit is sittin'

      |Em                                             |Em                                      |
Just a heart broke bitch, high heels, six inch, in the back of the nightclub, sippin' champagne
|D                                                  |D                                 |
 I don't trust any of these bitches I'm with, in the back of the taxi, sniffin' cocaine
     |Am                                        |
Drunk calls, drunk texts, drunk tears, drunk sex
     |Am                                        |
I was lookin' for a man who was on the same page
        |Em                                        |Bm                                   |
Now it's back to the intro, back to the bar, to the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways

|Em                         |Em              |D                        |D                     |
   'Cause I don't wanna feel   how I did last night, I don't wanna feel   how I did last night
|Am                               |Am                              |
 Doctor, doctor, anything, please, doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
|Em                                      |Em                                  |
 Take this pain away, you’re asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don't wanna feel

|Em                                         |Em                       |
 Toke this joint how I'm blowin' this steam, back to my ways like 2019
   |Em                                       |Em                                     |
Not 24 hours since my ex did dead it, I got a new man on me, it’s about to get sweaty

|Em                                          |
 Last night really was the cherry on the cake
         |Em                                           |
Been some dark days lately and I'm finding it crippling
 |D                                       |
Excuse my state, I'm as high as your hopes
           |D                                         |
That you'll make it to my bed, get me hot and sizzling
    |Am                                         |
If I take a step back to see the glass half full
  |Am                                               |
At least it's the Prada 2-piece that I'm trippin' in
|Em                             |Bm                                                      |
   And I'm already actin' like a dick, know what I mean? so you might as well stick it in

      |Em                                             |Em                                      |
Just a heart broke bitch, high heels, six inch, in the back of the nightclub, sippin' champagne
|D                                                  |D                                 |
 I don't trust any of these bitches I'm with, in the back of the taxi, sniffin' cocaine
     |Am                                        |
Drunk calls, drunk texts, drunk tears, drunk sex
     |Am                                        |
I was lookin' for a man who was on the same page
        |Em                                        |Bm                                   |
Now it's back to the intro, back to the bar, to the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways

|Em                         |Em              |D                        |D                     |
   'Cause I don't wanna feel   how I did last night, I don't wanna feel   how I did last night
|Am                               |Am                              |
 Doctor, doctor, anything, please, doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
|Em                                      |Bm                                              |
 Take this pain away, you’re asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don't wanna feel, mm (what?)

|Em                         |Em                |
   'Cause I don't wanna feel   like I felt last
|D                        |D                       |
 night, I don't wanna feel   like I felt last night
|Am                               |Am                       |
   Be at peace with the things you can't change (last night)
       |Em                                       |Bm        |
I'll be naked when I leave and I was naked when I came, yeah

|Em                          |Em                             |
   Out of reach, out of touch,  too numb, I don't feel no way
|D                 |D                                  |
  Toast up, so what?  Street small, but it go both ways
|Am             |Am                             |
   So you'll run,  yeah, but you'll never escape
|Em                                       |Bm                      	        |
   Sunset in the maze (you're asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don't wanna feel)

|Em                  |Em                    |D                   |D                         |
   I don't wanna feel   how I did last night,  I don't wanna feel   how I did last night, oh
|Am                               |Am                              |
 Doctor, doctor, anything, please, doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
|Em                   |N.C.                                |
   You're asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don't wanna feel

|Cm                  |Cm              |Bb                  |Bb                       |
   I don't wanna feel   how I did last night, I don't wanna feel how I did last night
|Fm       |Fm                             |

|Cm     |Cm     |Cm     |Cm     |

  |Cm                              |
Mm lipstick smudged like modern art
            |Cm                                                  |
I don't know where the fuck I am or who's drivin' the fuckin' car
|Bb                                        |Bb                                            |
 Speedin' down the highway, sippin’, mixin' pills with the liquor 'cah fuck these feelings
      |Fm                                        |Fm                                        |
I left everyone I love on read (uh-huh), spilling secrets to the stranger in my bed (uh-huh)
          |Bb                                            |
I remember nothing, so there's nothing to regret (uh-huh)
               |Bb                               |
Other than this 4-4 kick drum poundin' in my head
