Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
F F Dm Dm Bb Bb F F
 
 
[Verse 1]
           F
So this producer hit me up on the DM
             F
He told me, "Hey, I really like what you are doing"
             Dm
He told me, "Come 'round to the studio, let's cook it"
             Dm
He told me, "Come to catch a vibe and make some music"
           Bb
But when I got there, shoulda heard what he was saying
          Bb
Trying to touch me, trying to fuck me, I'm not playing
              F
I should have left that place as soon as I walked in it
        F
How God damn dare you do that to me, really?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F
  Come in like the ice cream man
F
  Till I felt his ice-cold hands
Dm
  And how I pay the pricе now, damn
Dm
  God damn, no, God damn
       Bb
  Everything you did, it left me in a ruin
            C
  And no, I didn't say a word, I guеss that proves it
        F
  I'm a woman, oh, yes
 
 
[Chorus]
             F
'Cause I'm a woman
                                F
I'm a very fucking brave strong woman
                                  Dm7
And I'll be damned if I let a man ruin
                              Dm7
How I walk, how I talk, how I do it
                Dm7
Man, I've been broken for a moment
          Bb
I've been through it all
                              C
It's even harder to be brave alone
                                   F
I was a girl, now I'm grown, I'm a woman
                      F
A very fucking strong woman
 
 
[Verse 2]
          F
And I was seven
                                        F
Just twenty-one, was seventeen and was eleven
                                         Dm
It took a while to understand what my consent means
                                        Dm
If I was ruthless, they'd be in the penitentiary
                                            Bb
But all the stress of being honest wouldn't help me
                                          Bb
I pushed it down, but it was livin' in me rent free
                                              F
And then I fell into some things that weren't healthy
                                             F
A place where no one hurt me, asking them to help me (Help me)
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
F
  Come in like the ice cream man
F
  Till I felt his ice-cold hands
Dm
  And how I pay the pricе now, damn
Dm
  God damn,
       Bb
  Everything you did, it left me in a ruin
            C
  And no, I didn't say a word, I guеss that proves it
        F
  I'm a woman, oh, yes
 
 
[Chorus]
             F
'Cause I'm a woman
                                F
I'm a very fucking brave strong woman
                                  Dm7
And I'll be damned if I let a man ruin
                              Dm7
How I walk, how I talk, how I do it
                Dm7
Man, I've been broken for a moment
          Bb
I've been through it all
                              C
It's even harder to be brave alone
                                   F
I was a girl, now I'm grown, I'm a woman
                      F
A very fucking strong woman (mmmm)
 
 
[Bridge]
       F
I wish I could say how I feel, how I felt
            F
And explain why I'm silently blaming myself
             Dm
'Cause I put on these faces, pretending I'm fine
           Dm
And then I go to the bathroom and I press rewind
      Bb                                       C
In my head, always going round and round in my head
                                       F
Your fingerprints stuck a stain on my skin
                                  F
You made me frame myself for your sin
                            N.C.
You pathetic dead excuse of a man

F F Dm
Dm                                  Bb     C
