[Chorus]
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

[Verse 1]
I heard he sang a good song
I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him
To 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 this song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

[Verse 2]
I felt all flushed with fever
Embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters
Then 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 song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

[Bridge]
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oah-oh-oh-ah-ah uh-ah
La-la-la, la, la, la
Woah-oh, la-ah-la-ah-ah
Woah-oh-oh, la-ah-la-la-la-la
La-ah-ah-a-a-a-a-ah

[Chorus]
Strumming my pain with his fingers (Hey-ey-ey)
Yes he was singing my life with his words (With his words)
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Outro: Sung, Spoken]
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
This next song we're gonna play you is a new song that we've never played before, uhm, I hope you like it
It's called Hope for The Future
