C#m F#7
I heard she sang a good song,
B/D# E
I heard she had a style.
C#m F#7
And so I came to see her
G#m G#m7/F#
And listen for a while.
C#m F#7
And there she was this young girl,
B D# D#7
A stranger to my eyes.
[Chorus]
G#m C#m
Strumming my pain with her fingers,
F# F#7 B
Singing my life with her words,
G#m C#6 C#
Killing me softly with her song,
F# E
Killing me softly with her song,
B/D# C#m
Telling my whole life with her words,
A
Killing me softly
G#
With her song
[Verse]
C#m F#7
I felt all flushed with fever,
B/D# E
Embarrassed by the crowd,
C#m F#7
I felt she found my letters
G#m G#m7/F#
And read each one out loud.
C#m F#7
I prayed that she would finish
B D# D#7
But she just kept right on.

[Verse]
C#m F#7
She sang as if she knew me
B/D# E
In all my dark despair
C#m F#7
And then she looked right through me
G#m G#m7/F#
As if I wasn't there.
C#m F#7
But she was very stranger,
B D# D#7
Singing clear and strong.
[Chorus]
G#m C#m
Strumming my pain with her fingers,
F# F#7 B
Singing my life with her words,
G#m C#6 C#
Killing me softly with her song,
F# E
Killing me softly with her song,
B/D# C#m
Telling my whole life with her words,
A
Killing me softly
G#
With her song
