[G] [Am] Strumming my pain [Dm] with his fingers, [G] singing my [C] life with his words,
[Am] killing me softly [D] with his song, [G] killing me softly [F] with his song,
[C] telling my whole life [F] with his words, killing [G]

[G]
[Dm] I [G] heard he sang a good [C] song, I [F] heard he had a [Dm] style,
and so [G] I came to see [Am] him and listened for a while.
[Dm] And there [G] he was, this young [C] boy, a stranger [G] to my [Am] eyes,
strumming my pain [Dm] with his fingers,
[G] singing my life with [C] his words,
[Am] killing me softly [D] with his song, killing [G] me softly [F] with his song,
telling [C] my whole life [F] with his words, [Am] killing [G] me softly with [A] his song.
[Dm] I [G] felt all flushed with [C] fever, [F] embarrassed by the crowd,
[Dm] I felt [G] he found my [Am] letters and read each one out loud.
[Dm] I [G] prayed that he would [C] finish, but he [E] just kept [G] right [Am] on,
strumming my pain [Dm] with his fingers, [G] singing my life [C] with his words,
[Am] killing me softly [D] with his song, killing [G] me softly [F] with his song,
telling [C] my whole life [F] with his words, killing [G] me softly with [A] his song.
[Dm] He [G] sang as if he knew [C] me, in [F] all my dark despair,
[Dm] and then [G] he looked right through [Am] me as if I wasn't there.
[Dm] And he [G] just kept on [C] singing, singing [E] clear and [Am] strong,
strumming my pain [Dm] with his fingers, [G] singing my life [C] with his words,
[Am] killing me softly [G] with his song, killing me softly with [F] his song,
[C] telling my whole life with [F] his words, [G] killing me softly with [A] his song.
