[Fm] He's drumming my bed [Bbm] with his fingers, [Eb] singing my life with [Ab] his words,
[F] killing me softly [Bb] with his song, [Eb] killing me softly with [Db] his song,
telling [Ab] my whole life [Db] with his words, killing [C] me softly [Gb] with [F] his song.

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