[Intro]
Em Am
Strumming my pain with her fingers
D7 Gmaj7
singing my life with her words
Em A7
killing me softly with her song
D C
killing me softly with her song
G C6
telling my whole life with her words.
Fmaj7b5
Killing me softly
E
with her song.
[Verse]
Am7 D7
I heard she sang a good song
Gmaj7 C
I heard she had a style
Am7 D
and so I came to see her
Em
and listen for a while.
Am7 D7
And there she was this young girl
G B7
a stranger to my eyes.
[Chorus]
Em Am
Strumming my pain with her fingers
D7 Gmaj7
singing my life with her words
Em A7
killing me softly with her song
D C
killing me softly with her song
G C6
telling my whole life with her words.
Fmaj7b5
Killing me softly
E
with her song.
[Verse]
Am7 D7
I felt all flushed with fever
Gmaj7 C
embarrassed by the crowd.
Am7 D
I felt she found my letters
Em
and read each one out loud.
Am7 D7
I prayed that she would finish
G B7
but she just kept right on.
[Chorus]
Em Am
Strumming my pain with her fingers
D7 Gmaj7
singing my life with her words
Em A7
killing me softly with her song
D C
killing me softly with her song
G C6
telling my whole life with her words.
Fmaj7b5
Killing me softly
E
with her song.
[Verse]
Am7 D7
She sang as if she knew me
Gmaj7 C
in all my dark despair.
Am7 D
And then she looked right through me
Em
as if I wasn't there.
Am7 D7
And she just kept on singing
G B7
Singing clear and strong.
[Chorus]
Em Am
Strumming my pain with her fingers
D7 Gmaj7
singing my life with her words
Em A7
killing me softly with her song
D C
killing me softly with her song
G C6
telling my whole life with her words.
Fmaj7b5
Killing me softly
E
with her song.
