Chords

[Verse 1: DONNA]
G                  D
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning

G                   D                 F#m
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

G           Gm        D
I watch her go with a surge of that well known sadness

G             A               D
And I have to sit down for a while
[Pre-Chorus]
G                    A          D     F#
The feeling that I'm losing her forever

G                  A            D
And without really entering her world

G                 A               D
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter

A                 D
That funny little girl
[Chorus]
G                                   D
Slipping through my fingers all the time

         F#m           Em
I try to capture every minute

    G       D
The feeling in it

                    A       Bm
Slipping through my fingers all the time

D           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               D
Slipping through my fingers all the time
[Verse 2: DONNA]
G            Gm            D                     G
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table

       Gm      D                   F#m
Barely awake I let precious time go by

G               Gm                 D
Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling

G              A             D
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
[Pre-Chorus: DONNA]
G                A               D       F#
What happened to those wonderful adventures?

G                A                 D
The places I had planned for us to go? (Slipping through my fingers all the time)

G                     A                D
Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't

A                     D
And why? I just don't know
[Chorus: DONNA]
G                                   D
Slipping through my fingers all the time

         F#m           Em
I try to capture every minute

    G       D
The feeling in it

                    A               Bm
Slipping through my fingers all the time

D           G                 D
Do I really see what's in her mind

         F#m                   Em
Each time I think I'm close to knowing

      G      D
She keeps on growing

                    A               D
Slipping through my fingers all the time
[DONNA/SOPHIE]
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

D
Slipping through my fingers (Slipping through my fingers all the time)
(Instrumental) G D F#m Em G D A D G D F#m Em D A D [Outro]
G                  D
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning

G      Gm           D
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
