[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.


[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 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.


[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.

[Chorus]

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.

Telling my whole life with his words.

Killing me softly, with his song.
