[Verse]
Am D
He sang as if he knew me
G C
in all my dark despair.
Am D
And then he looked right through me
Em
as if I wasn't there.
Am D
And he just kept on singing
G B
singing clear and strong.
[Chorus]
Em Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D G
singing my life with his words
Em A
killing me softly with his song
D C
killing me softly with his song
G C
telling my whole life with his words.
F
Killing me softly
E
with his song.
Em Am
Ooooh oh ohhh
D G
Oh oh oh ohhh oh oh oh ohhh
Em A
La la la, la la la
D C
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
G C F
La aaa ah aaaah
E
La ah ah ah ah aah
Em Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D G
singing my life with his words
Em A
killing me softly with his song
D C
killing me softly with his song
G C
telling my whole life with his words.
F
Killing me softly
E
[Ending]
Em Am
He was strumming my pain
D G
Yeah, he was singing my life
Em A
killing me softly with his song
D C
killing me softly with his song
G C
telling my whole life with his words.
F
Killing me softly
E
with his song.
