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