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

B D#m C#m F#

[VERSE 3]
B C#m F# B
So I sit here where he lived and died as the ghosts around me weave
C#m F# B
And the evening shadows lengthen on the wall
C#m F# B
And in this dark and empty room it's easy to believe
C#m F# B
That he never, really lived at all
C#m F# B
But the little scraps of paper in my hand
C#m E F#
Prove he lived to me — a father and a man
[CHORUS]
B C#m B C#m F#
My father died in summer, and all he left behind
B C#m B D#m C#m F#
Were little scraps of paper, little scraps of rhyme
C#m F# B
I read them and felt something inside me break
D#m C#m F#
And angrily cried out "Too late, too late!"
B D#m C#m F#
Surely there must be something better?
B D#m C#m F#
