Killing Me Softly

Chorus:

Am Dm

Strumming my pain with his fingers

G C

Singing my life with his words

Am D

Killing me softly with his song

G F

Killing me softly with his song

C F

Telling my whole life with his words

Bb A

Killing me softly... with his song

Dm G

I heard he sang a good song

C F

I heard he had a style

Dm G

And so I came to see him

Am

To listen for a while

Dm G

And there he was this young boy

C E

A stranger to my eyes

Dm G

I felt all flushed with fever

C F

Embarassed by the crowd

Dm G

I felt he found my letters

Am

And read each one out loud

Dm G

I prayed that he would finish

C E

But he just kept right on

Dm G

He sang as if he knew me

C F

In all my dark despair

Dm G

And then he looked right through me

Am

As if I wasn't there

Dm G

And he just kept on singing

C E

Singing clear and strong
