Em Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers.

singing my life with his words.
Em Am
Killing me softly with his song.
D G
Killing me softly with his song
G C
Telling my whole life with his words.

Killing me softly, with his song.

Am7 D
I heard he sang the 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 a young boy
G B7
a stranger to my eyes.

[Verse]
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.
