[Cm] Strumming my pain with her [Fm] fingers
[Bb] Singing my life with [Eb] her [Bb] words

[Eb] [Bb]
[Fm] [Bb]
[Ab] [Bb]
[Fm] heard she [Bb] sang a good [Eb] song
I heard [Ab] she had a style
So I [Bb] came to see her [Cm] to listen for a while
[Fm] And [Bb] there she was, this young girl
[Eb] A stranger [G] to my [Cm] eyes
Strumming my pain with her [Fm] fingers
[Bb] Singing my life with [Eb] her words
[Cm] Killing me softly [F] with her song
Killing [Bb] me softly [Ab] with her song
Telling [Eb] my whole life [Ab] with her words
Killing me [Db] softly with [C] her song
I [Ab] felt all [Bb] flushed with fever
[Eb] [Ab] Embarrassed by the crowd
[Fm] I felt she [Bb] found my letters
[Cm] And read each one out loud
[Fm] I [Bb] prayed that she would [Eb] finish
But she just [G] kept right on
[Cm] Strumming my pain with her [Fm] fingers
[Bb] Singing my life [Eb] with her words
[Cm] Killing me softly [F] with her song
Killing [Bb] me softly with [Ab] her song
[Eb] Telling my whole life with [Fm] her words
Killing me softly [Db] with [C] her song
She [Fm] sang as [Bb] if she knew [Eb] me
In all [Ab] my dark despair
[Fm] And then she [Bb] looked right through me
[Cm] As if I wasn't [Fm] there
And she just [Bb] kept on singing
[Eb] Singing [G] clear and strong
[Cm] Strumming my pain with her [Fm] fingers
[Bb] Singing my life [Eb] with her words
[Cm] Killing me softly [F] with her song
[Bb] Killing me softly with [Ab] her song
[Eb] Telling my whole life with [Ab] her words
Killing me [Db] softly [C] with her song
