[Chorus]
Em Am D7 Gmaj7
Strumming my pain with my fingers. singing my life with his words.
Em A7 D C
Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song.
G C6
Telling my whole life with his words.
Fmaj7b5 E
Killing me softly, with his song.
[Verse]
Am7 D7
I heard he sang a good song.
Gmaj7 C
I heard he had a style.
Am7 D7
And so I came to see him,
Em
and listen for a while.
Am7 D7
And there he was a young boy
G B7
a stranger to my eyes.
[Chorus]
Em Am D7 Gmaj7
Strumming my pain with my fingers. singing my life with his words.
Em A7 D C
Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song.
G C6
Telling my whole life with his words.
Fmaj7b5 E
Killing me softly, with his song.
[Verse]
Am7 D7
I felt all flushed with fever
Gmaj7 C
embarrassed by the crowd.
Am7 D7
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 Gmaj7
Strumming my pain with my fingers. singing my life with his words.
Em A7 D C
Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song.
G C6
Telling my whole life with his words.
Fmaj7b5 E
Killing me softly, with his song.
[Verse]
Am7 D7
He sang as if knew me
Gmaj7 C
in all my dark despair.
Am7 D7
And then he looked right through me
Em
as if I wasn't there.
Am7 D7
And he just kept on singing
G B7
sining clear and strong
[Chorus]
Em Am D7 Gmaj7
Strumming my pain with my fingers. singing my life with his words.
Em A7 D C
Killing me softly with his song. Killing me softly with his song.
G C6
Telling my whole life with his words.
Fmaj7b5 E
Killing me softly, with his song.
