Killing me softly, girl, oh

Verse 1
G G 
 
I heard she sang a good song
I heard she had a style
G G 
 
So I decide to go
And listen for a while
G G 
 
And there she was, this young girl

Chorus 1
A stranger to my eyes
G G 
 
Strumming my face with her fingers
Singin' my life with her words
G G 
 
Killin' me softly with her song
Killin' me softly with her song
G G 
 
Tellin' my whole life with her words
G G 
 
Killin' me softly with her song

Verse 2
G G 
 
I felt a rush of fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
G G 
 
I though she found my letters
And read each one out loud
G G 
 
I prayed that she would finish

Chorus 2
But she just kept right on
G G 
 
Strumming my face with her fingers
Singin' my life with her words
G G 
 
Killin' me softly with her song
Killin' me softly with her song
G G 
 
Tellin' my whole life with her words
G G 
 
Killin' me soft, soft with her song

Verse 3
G G 
 
I felt so ashamed
My life was in despair
G G 
 
And she just stand there singin'
As if I wasn't there
G G 
 
And she just kept on playing

Chorus 3
Playin' that same old song
G G 
 
Strumming my face with her fingers
Singin' my life with her words
G G 
 
Killin' me softly with her song
Killin' me softly with her song
[Fade out]
