[Intro]
N.C.
Sleazin’ and teasin’, I’m sittin’ on him
 
All of my diamonds are drippin’ on him
 
I met him at the bar, it was twelve or somethin’
 
I ordered two more wines, ’cause tonight I want him
 
 
[Verse]
    Em
A little context if you care to listen
 
I find myself in this shit position
     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’
 
Fact, I don’t wanna feel, so I stick to sippin’
         D          Em
And I’m out on the town with a simple mission
        Bm
In my little black dress and this shit is sittin’
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        Em
Just a heart broke bitch high heels six inch
 
In the back of the nightclub, sipping champagne
D
I don’t trust any of these bitches I’m with
 
In the back of the taxi sniffing cocaine
       Am
Drunk calls, drunk texts, drunk tears, drunk sex
 
I was looking for a man who’s on the same page
          D          Em
Now it’s back to the intro, back to the bar
        Bm                                 Em
To the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways
 
 
[Chorus]
Em                                          D
..’Cause I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
                                   Am
I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
  Am
Doctor, doctor, anything, please, doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
N.C
Take this pain away.
 
You’re asking me my symptoms, doctor. I don’t wanna feel
 
 
[Verse 2]
N.C
Toke this joint how I’m blowing this steam
 
Back to my ways like 2019
 
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
 
Been some dark days lately and I’m findin’ it cripplin’
  D
Excuse my state I’m as high as your hopes that you’ll make it on my bed
 
Get me hot and sizzlin’
      Am
If I take a step back to see the glass half full
 
At least it’s the Prada two-piece that I’m trippin’ in
D Em                              Bm
..…And I’m already actin’ like a dick, know what I mean?
 
So you might as well stick it in
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        Em
Just a heart broke bitch high heels six inch
 
In the back of the nightclub, sipping champagne
D
I don’t trust any of these bitches I’m with
                   N.C
In the back of the taxi sniffing cocaine
       Am
Drunk calls, drunk texts, drunk tears, drunk sex
 
I was looking for a man who’s on the same page
          D          Em
Now it’s back to the intro, back to the bar
        Bm                                 Em
To the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways
 
 
[Chorus]
Em                                          D
..’Cause I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
                                   Am
I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
  Am
Doctor, doctor, anything, please, doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
 
Take this pain away.
 
You’re asking me my symptoms, doctor. I don’t wanna feel (What?)
 
 
[Verse 3]
Em                                            D
..’Cause I don’t wanna feel like I felt last night
                                     Am
I don’t wanna feel like I felt last night
 
Be at peace with the things you can’t change
 
I’ll be naked when I leave and I was naked when I came, yeah
Em
..Out of reach, out of touch, too numb, I don’t feel no way
D
..Toast up, so what, street small but it go both ways
Am
..So, you’ll run, but you’ll never escape
D Em
..…Sunset in the maze
                     N.C                               Em
(You’re asking me my symptoms, doctor, I don’t wanna feel)
 
 
[Chorus]
Em                                   D
..I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
 
I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
  Am                                                             Em
Doctor, doctor, anything, please, doctor, doctor, have mercy on me
                     D
You’re asking me my symptoms, doctor I don’t wanna feel
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
Cm                                    Bb
..I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
                                    Fm
I don’t wanna feel how I did last night
                                    Cm    G Bb N.C
I don’t wanna feel how I did last night....
 
 
[Outro]
Cm
Lipstick smudged like modern art
 
I don’t know where the fuck I am or who’s driving the fuckin' car
  Bb
Speeding down the highway sippin’
 
Mixing pills with the liquor ‘cause fuck these feelings
        Fm
I left everyone I love on read (Uh-uh)
 
Spilling secrets to the stranger in my bed (Uh-uh)
             Bb                           Cm
I remember nothing so there’s nothing to regret (Uh-uh)
                      Bb
Other than this 4/4 kick drum poundin’ in my head

I like playing this progression with a capo on 3 (transpose -3) to get both the full chord and that eerie string bit. So, I'm playing one downstroke on the whole chord and two upstrokes on just the higher notes for the string bit. It adds a little more vibe though it's not as high as the strings.
