(Keys and Vocals only)
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his songs
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly
With his song
INTERLUDE 4 BARS
VERSE
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he has a style
And so I came to see him
And listen for a while
And there he was this young boy
A stranger to my eyes
CHORUS
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his songs
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly
With his song
VERSE
I felt all flushed with fever
In there was a vital crowd
I felt he found my letters
And read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish
But he just kept right on
CHORUS
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his songs
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly
With his song
14 BAR BREAK (singer vamps)
CHORUS
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his songs
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly
With his song
