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

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#
