[VERSE 1]
G Am D G
These days my life seems somehow like a tired old cliché
Am D G
A bad movie scene that just goes on and on
Am D G
With dialogue like " It's so sad how fast time slips away"
Am D G
Or "You never really miss them until they're gone"
Am D G
Funny how those old clichés come true
Am C D
I never thought I'd miss him, but I do
[CHORUS]
G Am G Am D
My father died in summer, and all he left behind
G Am G Bm Am D
Were little scraps of paper, little scraps of rhyme
Am D G
I read them and felt something inside me break
Bm Am D
And angrily cried out "Too late, too late!"
G Bm Am D
Surely there must be something better?
G Bm Am D
Surely there must be something better?
[VERSE 2]
G Am D G
He and I were always strangers, searching for someone
Am D G
I was looking for a hero, and he a friend
Am D G
So while I searched for my father, he was looking for his son
Am D G
And strangers we remained until the end
Am D G
But the man who wrote his heart into these rhymes
Am C D
I know that he could have been a good friend of mine
[CHORUS]
G Am G Am D
My father died in summer, and all he left behind
G Am G Bm Am D
Were little scraps of paper, little scraps of rhyme
Am D G
I read them and felt something inside me break
Bm Am D
And angrily cried out "Too late, too late!"
G Bm Am D
Surely there must be something better?
G Bm Am D
Surely there must be something better?
[VERSE 3]
G Am D G
So I sit here where he lived and died as the ghosts around me weave
Am D G
And the evening shadows lengthen on the wall
Am D G
And in this dark and empty room it's easy to believe
Am D G
That he never, really lived at all
Am D G
But the little scraps of paper in my hand
Am C D
Prove he lived to me — a father and a man
[CHORUS]
G Am G Am D
My father died in summer, and all he left behind
G Am G Bm Am D
Were little scraps of paper, little scraps of rhyme
Am D G
I read them and felt something inside me break
Bm Am D
And angrily cried out "Too late, too late!"
G Bm Am D
Surely there must be something better?
G Bm Am D
Surely there must be something better?
