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