Verse 1
[Dm7] [G]
I heard he sang a good song
[C] [F]
I heard he had a style

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
[C] [F]
Telling my whole life with his words
[Bb] [A]
Killing me softly with his song

I felt all flushed with fever
[C] [F]
Embarrassed by the crowd

And read each one out loud

I prayed that he would finish

But he just kept right on
