Em Am D7 G
Strumming my pain with his fingers. Singing my life with his words.
Em A D C
Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song.
G C
Telling my whole life with his words.
Esus4 E
Killing me softly, with his song.

I heard he sang the good song.
G C
I heard he had a style.
Am7 D
And so I came to see him,
Em
and listen for a while.

And there he was a young boy
G B7
a stranger to my eyes.

Strumming my pain with his fingers. Singing my life with his words.

Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song.

Telling my whole life with his words.
Esus4 E
Killing me softly, with his song.
Am7 D
I felt all flushed with fever
G C
embarrassed by the crowd.
Am7 D
I felt he found my letters
Em
and read each one out loud.
Am7 D7
I prayed that he would finish
G B7
but he just kept right on.
Em Am D7 G
Strumming my pain with his fingers. Singing my life with his words.

Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song.
G C
Telling my whole life with his words.
Esus4 E
Killing me softly, with his song.
Am7 D
He sang as if knew me
G C
in all my dark despair.
Am7 D
And then he looked right through me
Em
as if I wasn't there.
Am7 D7
And he just kept on singing
G B7
singing clear and strong
Em Am D7 G
Strumming my pain with his fingers. Singing my life with his words.
Em A D C
Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song.
G C
Telling my whole life with his words.
Esus4 E
Killing me softly, with his song.
