[Akon]
Dm   F   
     Woooo hooo
G    A#   
     Weee oooo
Dm   F      
     Wooo hooo
G    A#      
     Weee oooo

[Gwen]
            Dm      F     
If I could escape I would but,
         G           A#      
First of all, let me say
        Dm           F              G                 A#    
I must apologize for acting stank & treating you this way
                Dm                    F          
Cause I've been acting like sour milk all on the floor
          G                           A#    
It's your fault you didn't shut the refrigerator
      Dm                      F               G        A#   
Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold?

[CHORUS]
           F            C                          Dm 
If I could escape & recreate a place that's my own world
    Am                        Gm                  
And I could be your favourite girl (forever), Perfectly together
C                                  
Tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)
              F        C                         Dm      
If I could be sweet, I know I've been a real bad girl (I'll try to change)
  Am                         Gm                    
I didn't mean for you to get hurt (whatsoever) We can make it better, 
C                              
Tell me boy wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)

[Akon]
Dm   F   
     Woooo hooo
G    A#   
     Weee oooo
Dm   F      
     Wooo hooo
G    A#      
     Weee oooo
(I want to get away, to our sweet escape
I want to get away, yeah)

[Gwen]
            Dm        F            G       A#   
You held me down, I'm at my lowest boiling point
             Dm     F              G           A#            
Come help me out, I need to get me out of this joint
             Dm       F                  G       A#    
Come on let's bounce, counting on you to turn me around
           Dm        F                          G      A#                  
Instead of clowning around, let's look for some common ground
   Dm    F                  G    
So baby, times get a little crazy
A#                          Dm    F                      G 
I've been gettin' a little lazy, waitin' on you to come save me
A#                     Dm    F                   G    
I can see that you're angry by the way that you treat me
A#                   Dm         F         G        A#   
Hopefully you don't leave me, wanted you with me

[CHORUS]
           F            C                          Dm 
If I could escape & recreate a place that's my own world
    Am                        Gm

C                                  
Tell me boy now wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)
