[Verse 1]
G Gm Schoolbag in hand D F#m She leaves home in the early morning G Gm Waving goodbye D F#m With an absent-minded smile G Gm I watch her go D F#m With a surge of that well-known sadness G A Dsus4 D And I have to sit down for a while G A D F# The feeling that I'm losing her forever G A D And without really entering her world G A D A Dsus4 D I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter, that funny little girl
[Chorus]
G D Slipping through my fingers all the time F#m Em I try to capture every minute D The feeling in it A Dsus4 D Slipping through my fingers all the time G D Do I really see what's in her mind F#m Em Each time I think I'm close to knowing D She keeps on growing A Dsus4 D Slipping through my fingers all the time
[Verse 2]
G Gm Sleep in our eyes D F#m Her and me at the breakfast table G Gm Barely awake D F#m I let precious time go by G Gm Then when she's gone D F#m There's that odd melancholy feeling G A Dsus4 D And a sense of guilt I can't deny G A D What happened to the wonderful adventures G A D The places I had planned for us to go (slipping through my fingers all the time) G A Well some of that we did D But most we didn't A Dsus4 D And why I just don't know
[Chorus]
G D Slipping through my fingers all the time F#m Em I try to capture every minute D The feeling in it A Dsus4 D Slipping through my fingers all the time G D Do I really see what's in her mind F#m Em Each time I think I'm close to knowing D She keeps on growing A Dsus4 D Slipping through my fingers all the time G A D F# Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture G A D And save it from the funny tricks of time G A Slipping through my fingers G Gm Schoolbag in hand D F#m She leaves home in the early morning G Gm D F#m Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
