RAYE – Ice Cream Man.
Key: Gb Major BPM: ♩ = 77 Time: 4/4
|Gb    |Gb    |Ebm    |Ebm    |
|Cb    |Cb    |Db     |Db     |

           |Gb                                     |Gb                                    |
So, this producer hit me up on the DM, he told me, "Hey, I really like what you are doing"
          |Ebm                                    |
He told me come round to the studio, let's cook it
           |Ebm                                      |
He told me “come to catch a vibe and make some music”
          |Cb                                           |
But when I got there, should've heard what he was saying
     |Cb                                      |
Tryna touch me, tryna fuck me, I'm not playing
           |Db                                       |
I should've left that place as soon as I walked in it
       |Db                                  |
How God damn dare you do that to me, really?

|Gb                         |Gb                           |
   Coming like the ice cream man, ’til I felt his ice-cold
|Ebm                                |Ebm                                  |
 hands, and how I pay the price now, damn, god damn, no what the, God damn
    |Cb                                            |Db                                       |
Everything you did, it left me in a ruin, and no, I didn't say a word, I guess that proves it
     |Gb        |Gb  |
I'm a woman, oh, yes

            |Gb                                    |Gb   |
'Cause I'm a woman, I’m a very fucking brave strong woman
                                 |Ebm                                |Ebm  |
And I'll be damned if I let a man ruin, how I walk, how I talk, how I do it
                                             |Cb                                          |Db  |
Man, I've been broken for a moment, I've been through it no, it’s even harder to be brave alone
                                |Gb                          |Gb   |
Was a girl, now I'm grown, I'm a woman, a very fucking strong woman

         |Gb                            |Gb  |
And I was seven, was 21, was 17, and was 11
                                        |Ebm       |
It took a while to understand what my consent means
                                       |Ebm     |
If I was ruthless, they'd be in the penitentiary
                                           |Cb     |
But all the stress of being honest wouldn't help me
                                         |Cb       |
I pushed it down, but it was living in me rent free
                                            |Gb     |
And then I fell into some things that were unhealthy
                                            |Gb     |
A place where no one heard me asking them to help me

|Gb                         |Gb                           |Ebm  |
   Coming like the ice cream man, ’til I felt his ice-cold hands
                            |Ebm                                  |
And how I pay the price now, damn, god damn, no what the, God damn
    |Cb                                            |Db                                       |
Everything you did, it left me in a ruin, and no, I didn't say a word, I guess that proves it
     |Ebm  |Db  |
I'm a woman

            |Gb                                    |Gb   |
'Cause I'm a woman, I’m a very fucking brave strong woman
                                 |Ebm                                |Ebm  |
And I'll be damned if I let a man ruin, how I walk, how I talk, how I do it
                                             |Cb                                          |Db  |
Man, I've been broken for a moment, I've been through it no, it’s even harder to be brave alone
                                |Gb                          |Gb   |
Was a girl, now I'm grown, I'm a woman, a very fucking strong woman

 |Gb                                                  |Gb                             |
I wish I could say how I feel, how I felt, and explain why I'm silently blaming myself
        |Ebm                                           |Ebm                                  |
'Cause I put on these faces pretending I'm fine, then I go to the bathroom and I press rewind
     |Cb                                      |Db                                         |
In my head, always going round and round in my head, your fingerprints stuck a stain on my
|Gb                                     |Gb                                      |
 skin, you made me frame myself for your sins, you pathetic, dead excuse of a man

|Gb  |Gb  |Ebm  |Ebm             |
      Ooh- ooh,     yeah, a brave
|Cb           |Db    |Bbm  |Ebm               |
 strong woman, oh-oh, yeah, eh-eh, ay, oh, oh
|Gb  |Gb  |Ebm  |Ebm  |
 Oh
                                 |Cb   |Db                                 |Bbm   |Ebm  |
And I'll be damned if I let a man ruin, oh, I’m a very fucking brave strong woman, yeah
