Singing my life with her words

Killing me softly with her song

I heard she sang a good song
C F
I heard she had a style
Dm G
And so i came to see her

And listen for a while

And there she was this young girl

A stranger to my eyes

With her song
Dm G
I felt all flushed with fever
C F
Embarrassed by the crowd
Dm G
I felt she found my letters
Am
And read each one out loud
Dm G7
I prayed that she would finish
C E7
But she just kept right on
Am Dm
Strumming my pain with her fingers

Singing my life with her words

Killing me softly with her song

She sang as if she knew me
C F
In all my dark despair
Dm G
And then she looked right through me
Am
As if i wasn't there
Dm G7
But she was there with a stranger
C E7
Singing clear and strong

Strumming my pain with her fingers

Singing my life with her words

Killing me softly with her song
