Em Am7
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D7 G
singing my life with his words
Em Am7
killing me softly with his song
D C
killing me softly with his song
G C
telling my whole life with his words.
F7+
Killing me softly
E
with his song.
Am7 D
I heard he sang a good song
G C
I heard he had a style
Am7 D
and so I came to see him
Em
and listen for a while.
Am7 D7
And there he was this young boy
G B7
a stranger to my eyes.
(Chorus)
Am7 D
I felt all flushed with fever
G C
embarrassed by the crowd.
Am7 D
I felt he found my letters
Em
and read each one out loud.
Am7 D7
I prayed that he would finish
G B7
but he just kept right on.
(Chorus)
Am7 D
He sang as if he knew me
G C
in all my dark despair.
Am7 D
And then he looked right through me
Em
as if I wasn't there.
Am7 D7
And he just kept on singing
G B7
singing clear and strong.
(Chorus)
