Em Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers,

Singing my life with his words,
Em A
Killing me softly with his song,

Killing me softly with his song,
G C
Telling my whole life with his words,

I heard he sang a good song,
G C
I heard he had a style
Am7 D
And so I came to see him,
Em Em
to listen for a while
Am7 D7
And there he was a young boy
G B7
a stranger to my eyes
Em Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers,
D7 G
Singing my life with his words,
Em A
Killing me softly with his song,
D C
Killing me softly with his song,
G C
Telling my whole life with his words,
Am7 Bsus
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 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
strumming my pain with his fingers,
D7 G
Singing my life with his words,
Em A
Killing me softly with his song,
D C
Killing me softly with his song,
G C
Telling my whole life with his words,
Am7 Bsus
Killing me softly with his song
Am7 D
He sang as if he knew me
G C
in all my dark despair
Am7 D
and then he looked right through me
Em Em
as if I wasn?t there
Am7 D7
and he just kept on singing
G B7
singing clear and strong
Em Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D7 G
singing my life with his words
Em A
killing me softly with his song
D C
killing me softly with his song
G C
telling my whole life with his words
Am7 Bsus
Killing me softly with his song.
