[Verse 1]
C Cm G Bm Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning C Cm G Bm Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile C Cm G Bm I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness C D G And I have to sit down for a while
[Pre-Chorus]
C D G B The feeling that I'm losing her forever C D G B While never really entering her world C D G I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter D G That funny little girl
[Chorus]
G C G Slipping through my fingers all the time Bm Am I try to capture every minute C G The feeling in it G D G Slipping through my fingers all the time C G Do I really see what's in her mind? Bm Am Each time I think I'm close to knowing C G She keeps on growing D G Slipping through my fingers all the time
[Verse 2]
C Cm G Bm Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table C Cm G Bm Barely awake, I let precious time go by C Cm G Bm Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling C D G And a sense of guilt I can't deny
[Pre-Chorus]
C D G B What happened to the wonderful adventures C D G B The places I had planned for us to go?
(Slipping through my fingers all the time)
C D G Well, some of that we did but most we didn't D G And why? I just don't know
[Chorus]
G C G Slipping through my fingers all the time Bm Am I try to capture every minute C G The feeling in it D G Slipping through my fingers all the time C G Do I really see what's in her mind? Bm Am Each time I think I'm close to knowing C G She keeps on growing D G Slipping through my fingers all the time
[Outro]
C D G Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture C Cm6 G B And save it from the funny tricks of time Bm7/D Slipping through my fingers
