C#m F#
I heard she sang a good song
B E
I heard she had a style
C#m F#
And so I came to see her
G#m
And listen for a while
C#m F#7
And there she was this young girl
B D#7
A stranger to my eyes
G#m C#m
Strumming my pain with her fingers
F# B
Singing my life with her words
G#m C#
Killing me softly with her song
F# E
Killing me softly with her song
B E
Telling my whole life with her words
A
Killing me softly
G#
With her song
C#m F#
I felt all flushed with fever
B E
Embarrassed by the crowd
C#m F#
I felt she found my letters
G#m
And read each one out loud
C#m F#7
I prayed that she would finish
B D#7
But she just kept right on
G#m C#m
Strumming my pain with her fingers
F# B
Singing my life with her words
G#m C#
Killing me softly with her song
F# E
Killing me softly with her song
B E
Telling my whole life with her words
A
Killing me softly
G#
With her song
C#m F#
She sang as if she knew me
B E
In all my dark despair
C#m F#
And then she looked right through me
G#m
As if I wasn't there
C#m F#7
But she was there with a stranger
B D#7
Singing clear and strong
G#m C#m
Strumming my pain with her fingers
F# B
Singing my life with her words
G#m C#
Killing me softly with her song
F# E
Killing me softly with her song
B E
Telling my whole life with her words
A
Killing me softly
G#
With her song
A
Killing me softly
G#
With her song
