EmiStrumming my pain with his Amifingers
D7singing my life with his Gwords
Emikilling me softly with Ahis song
killing me Dsoftly with Chis song
telling my Gwhole life with his Cwords.
Killing me softEsus4ly
with his Esong.
Ami7I heard he Dsang a good song
GI heard he Chad a style
Ami7and so I Dcame to see him
and Emilisten for a while.
AmiAnd there he D7was this young boy
Ga stranger H7to my eyes.
(Chorus)
I felt all flushed with fever
embarrassed by the crowd.
I felt he found my letters
and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish
but he just kept right on.
(Chorus)
He sang as if he knew me
in all my dark despair.
And then he looked right through me
as if I wasn't there.
And he just kept on singing
singing clear and strong.
