Roberta Flack

Killing Me Softly

Chorus:

Em Am D7 G

Strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words

Em A D C

Killing me softly with his song, killing me softly, with his song

G C

telling my whole life with his words.

Esus4 E

Killing me softly, with his song.

Verse 1:

Am7 D G C

I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style

Am7 D Em

and so I came to see him and listen for a while.

Am7 D7 G Bm7

And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes.

Chorus:

Verse 2:

Am7 D G C

I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd.

Am7 D Em

I felt he found my letters, and read each one out loud.

Am7 D7 G B7

I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on.

Chorus:

Verse 3:

Am7 D G C

He sang as if he knew me, in all my dark despair.

Am7 D Em

And then he looked right through me, as if I wasn't there.

Am7 D7 G B7

And he just kept on singing, singing clear and strong.
