singing my life with his words  
E5                      A5 
killing me softly with his song 
            D5           C5 
killing me softly with his song 
           G5                 C5 
telling my whole life whith his words

killing me softly with his song

A5         D5 
i heard he sang a good song 
G5           C5

and so i came to see him  
E5 
and listen for a while

A5          D5 
i felt all flushed with fever 
G5           C5 
embarrassed by the crowd 
A5         D5 
i felt he found my letters  
E5 
and read each one out loud

i prayed that he would finish 
G5            B5 
but he just kept right on

and then he looked right through me
