Em Am Strumming my pain with his fingers, D7 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, Am7 Bsus Killing me softly 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 Em to listen for a while Am7 D7 And there he was a young boy G B7 a stranger to my eyes Em Am Strumming my pain with his fingers, D7 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, Am7 Bsus Killing me softly with his song Am7 D I felt all flushed with fever, G C Embarrassed by the crowd, Am7 D I felt he found my letters Em Em and read each one out loud. Am7 D7 I prayed that he would finish, G B7 But he just kept right on Em Am strumming my pain with his fingers, D7 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, Am7 Bsus Killing me softly with his song 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 Em as if I wasn?t there Am7 D7 and he just kept on singing G B7 singing clear and strong Em Am Strumming my pain with his fingers D7 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 Am7 Bsus Killing me softly with his song. Em Am Strumming my pain with his fingers D7 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 Am7 Bsus Killing me softly with his song.
