Killing Me Softly

Ghi theo key [C]

[Dm]I heard she [G]sang a good song, [C]I heard she [F]had a style.

[Dm]And so I [G]came to see her and [Am]listen for a while.

[Dm]And there she [G]was this young girl, [C]a stranger to [E]my eyes.

 

[Am]Strumming my pain with her [Dm]fingers,

[G]singing my life with her [C]words,

[Am]killing me softly with [D]her song,

killing me [G]softly with her [F]song,

telling my [C]whole life with her [F]words,

killing me [Bb]softly with her [A]song

 

[Dm]I felt all [G]flushed with fever, [C]embarrassed [F]by the crowd,

[Dm]I felt she [G]found my letters and [Am]read each one out loud.

[Dm]I prayed that [G]she would finish [C]but she just [E]kept right on.

 

[Am]Strumming my pain with her [Dm]fingers,

[G]singing my life with her [C]words,

[Am]killing me softly with [D]her song,

killing me [G]softly with her [F]song,

telling my [C]whole life with her [F]words,

killing me [Bb]softly with her [A]song

 

[Dm]She sang as [G]if she knew me [C]in all my [F]dark despair

[Dm]and then she [G]looked right through me [Am]as if I wasn't there.

[Dm]But she just [G]came to singing, [C]singing [E]clear and strong.

 

[Am]Strumming my pain with her [Dm]fingers,

[G]singing my life with her [C]words,

[Am]killing me softly with [D]her song,

killing me [G]softly with her [F]song,

telling my [C]whole life with her [F]words,

killing me [Bb]softly with her [A]song
