Chorus
[Em] [Am] [D7] [G]
Strumming my pain with his fingers. Singing my life with his words.
[Em] [Am] [D] [C]
Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song.
[G] [C]
Telling my whole life with his words.
[Fadd#11] [E]
Killing me softly, with his song.
Verse 1
[Am7] [D]
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]
and listen for a while.
[Am7] [D7]
And there he was this young boy,
[G] [B7]
a stranger to my eyes.

Telling my whole life with his words.

Killing me softly, with his song.
Verse 2
[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.
