Killing Me Softly Chords

[Chorus]
Em                            Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D                            G
singing my life with his words
Em                      Am
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.
 
[Verse]
Am           D
I heard he sang a good song
G          C
I heard he had a style
Am         D
and so I came to see him
    Em
and listen for a while.
Am             D
And there he was this young boy
G          B
a stranger to my eyes.
 
[Chorus]
Em                            Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D                            G
singing my life with his words
Em                      Am
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.
 
[Verse]
Am           D
I felt all flushed with fever
G          C
embarrassed by the crowd.
Am         D
I felt he found my letters
    Em
and read each one out loud.
Am             D
I prayed that he would finish
G          B
but he just kept right on.
 
[Chorus]
Em                            Am
Strumming my pain with his fingers
D                            G
singing my life with his words
Em                      Am
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.
 
[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                      Am
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.
