G Bm Am DG Bm Am D [VERSE 1]G Am These days my life seems somehowD G like a tired old clichéAm D A bad movie scene that just goesG on and onAm With dialogue like " It's so sadD G how fast time slips away"Am D Or "You never really miss themG until they're gone"Am D Funny how those old clichés comeG trueAm C I never thought I'd miss him, butD I do [CHORUS]G Am G My father died in summer, andAm D all he left behindG Am G Were little scraps of paper,Bm Am D little scraps of rhymeAm D I read them and felt somethingG inside me breakBm And angrily cried out "Too late,Am D too late!"G Bm Surely there must be somethingAm D better?G Bm Surely there must be somethingAm D better?Continúa después del anuncio[VERSE 2]G Am He and I were always strangers,D G searching for someoneAm D I was looking for a hero, and he aG friendAm So while I searched for my father,D G he was looking for his sonAm D And strangers we remained untilG the endAm D But the man who wrote his heartG into these rhymesAm C I know that he could have been aD good friend of mine [CHORUS]G Am G My father died in summer, andAm D all he left behindG Am G Were little scraps of paper,Bm Am D little scraps of rhymeAm D I read them and felt somethingG inside me breakBm And angrily cried out "Too late,Am D too late!"G Bm Surely there must be somethingAm D better?G Bm Surely there must be somethingAm D better? [VERSE 3]G Am So I sit here where he lived andD G died as the ghosts around me weaveAm D And the evening shadows lengthenG on the wallAm And in this dark and empty roomD G it's easy to believeAm D G That he never, really lived at allAm D But the little scraps of paper inG my handAm C Prove he lived to me — a fatherD and a man [CHORUS]G Am G My father died in summer, andAm D all he left behindG Am G Were little scraps of paper,Bm Am D little scraps of rhymeAm D I read them and felt somethingG inside me breakBm And angrily cried out "Too late,Am D too late!"G Bm Surely there must be somethingAm D better?G Bm Surely there must be somethingAm D better?
