I heard he sang a good [G] song
[G] I heard he had a style
And so I came to see [E]
him
To listen for a while

And there he was, [C] this young boy
A stranger [Am] to my [Gbm]

[C] Singing my life [F]
[Gm] [Em] with his words
Killing [Gm] me softly [B] with his [C] song

[Gm] And then he looked right [G] through me
[Gb]
[Am] As if I wasn't there
[E] [F] [Gm]
