Killing Me Softly

	  		
Am                          Dm 
Strumming my pain with her fingers 
G                        C 
Singing my life with her words 
Am                     Dm 
Killing me softly with her song 
            G          F 
Killing me softly with her song 
            C               F 
Telling my whole life with her words 
            A# 
Killing me softly 
          Am 
With her song 

Dm          G 
I heard she sang a good song 
C           F 
I heard she had a style 
Dm       G 
And so i came to see her 
Am 
And listen for a while 
Dm            G7 
And there she was this young girl 
C             E7 
A stranger to my eyes 

Am                          Dm 
Strumming my pain with her fingers 
G                        C 
Singing my life with her words 
Am                     Dm 
Killing me softly with her song 
            G          F 
Killing me softly with her song 
            C               F 
Telling my whole life with her words 
            A# 
Killing me softly 
          Am 
With her song 

Dm          G 
I felt all flushed with fever 
C           F 
Embarrassed by the crowd 
Dm        G 
I felt she found my letters 
Am 
And read each one out loud 
Dm            G7 
I prayed that she would finish 
C                 E7 
But she just kept right on 

Am                          Dm 
Strumming my pain with her fingers 
G                        C 
Singing my life with her words 
Am                     Dm 
Killing me softly with her song 
            G          F 
Killing me softly with her song 
            C               F 
Telling my whole life with her words 
            A# 
Killing me softly 
          Am 
With her song 

Dm         G 
She sang as if she knew me 
C         F 
In all my dark despair 
Dm          G 
And then she looked right through me 
Am 
As if i wasn't there 
Dm           G7 
But she was there with a stranger 
C              E7 
Singing clear and strong 

Am                          Dm 
Strumming my pain with her fingers 
G                        C 
Singing my life with her words 
Am                     Dm 
Killing me softly with her song 
            G          F 
Killing me softly with her song 
            C               F 
Telling my whole life with her words 
            A# 
Killing me softly 
          Am 
With her song 

Am                          Dm 
Strumming my pain with her fingers

            C               F 
Telling my whole life with her words 
            A# 
Killing me softly 
          Am 
With her song
