[C#m] [F#] [C#m]
I heard [F#] she sang a good song, [B]
I heard [E] she had a style
[C#m]
And so [F#] I came to see her, [G#m]
listen for a while
[C#m]
And there she [F#] was, this young girl, [B]
a stranger [D#] to my eyes
[G#m]
Strumming my pain with her [C#m] fingers, [F#] singing my life with her [B] words
[G#m]
Killing me softly with [C#] her song, killing me [F#] softly with her [E] song
Telling [B] my whole life with her [E] words, killing [A] me softly with [G#] her song
[C#]
[C#m] I felt [F#] all flushed with fever, [B]
[E] embarrassed by the crowd
[C#m]
I felt [F#] she found my [G#m] letters, and read each one aloud
[C#m]
I prayed [F#] that she would [B] finish, but she [D#] just kept right [G#m] on
Strumming my pain [C#m] with her fingers, [F#]
singing my life with [B] her words
[G#m]
Killing me softly [C#] with her song, killing [F#] me softly with [E] her song
Telling my [B] whole life with her words, killing [A] me softly with [G#] her song
[C#]
[C#m] She sang [F#] as if she knew [B]
me, in all [E] my dark despair
[C#m]
And then [F#] she looked right through [G#m] me, as if I wasn't [G#] there
[C#m]
But she [F#] was there, this stranger, [B]
[D#] singing clear [F] and strong
[G#m]
Strumming my pain [C#m] with her fingers, [F#]
singing my life with [B] her words
[G#m]
Killing me softly [C#] with her song, killing [F#] me softly with [E] her song
Telling my [B] whole life, [E] killing me [A]
