4 4 4 4 -3 2 3 -2
Strum-ming my pain with his fin-gers
-4 -4 -4 -4 3 -1 2
Sing-ing my life with his words
2 2 2 2 -3 4 -4 -3
Kill-ing me soft-ly with his song
-5 -5 -5 4 -4 3 -4 -3
Kill-ing me soft-ly with his song
-3 -3 -3 -3 3 1 3 -2
Tell-ing my whole life with his words
-2 -2 -2 2 -1
Kill-ing me soft-ly
-1 -1 2
With his song…
2 -2 3 -3 3 -1 3
I heard he sang a good song
-3 3 -2 2 -2 1
I heard he had a style
2 -2 3 -3 3 -3 -4
And so I came to see him
-4 4 -4 -3 3 -3
to lis-ten for a-while
4 -3 -2 2 -1 2 -2
And there he was this young boy
3 3 3 3* 3* -3-4
A strang-er to my eyes…
4 4 4 4 -3 2 3 -2
Strum-ming my pain with his fin-gers

With his song…
2 -2 3 -3 3 -1 3
I felt all flushed with fev-er
-3 3 -2 2 -2 1
Em-bar-rassed by the crowd
2 -2 3 -3 3 -3 -4
I felt he found my let-ters
-4 4 -4 -3 3 -3
and read each one out loud
4 -3 -2 2 -1 2 -2
I prayed that he would fin-ish
3 3 3 3* 3* -3-4
But he just kept right on…
4 4 4 4 -3 2 3 -2
Strum-ming my pain with his fin-gers
-4 -4 -4 -4 3 -1 2
Sing-ing my life with his words
2 2 2 2 -3 4 -4 -3
Kill-ing me soft-ly with his song
-5 -5 -5 4 -4 3 -4 -3
Kill-ing me soft-ly with his song
-3 -3 -3 -3 3 1 3 -2
Tell-ing my whole life with his words
-2 -2 -2 2 -1
Kill-ing me soft-ly
-1 -1 2
With his song…
2 -2 3 -3 3 -1 3
He sang as if he knew me
-3 3 -2 2 -2 1
In all my dark des-pair
2 -2 3 -3 3 -3 -4
And then he looked right through me
-4 4 -4 -3 3 -3
as if I was-n�t there
4 -3 -2 2 -1 2 -2
And he just kept on sing-ing,
3 3 3* 3* -3 -4
Sing-ing clear and strong…
4 4 4 4 -3 2 3 -2
Strum-ming my pain with his fin-gers
-4 -4 -4 -4 3 -1 2
Sing-ing my life with his words

Kill-ing me soft-ly with his song
-3 -3 -3 -3 3 1 3 -2
Tell-ing my whole life with his words
-2 -2 -2 2 -1
Kill-ing me soft-ly
-1 -1 2
With his song…
