Slipping Through My Fingers

A             Am
Schoolbag in hand
             E          C#m
She leaves home in the early morning
A         Am
Waving goodbye
         E             G#m
With an absent-minded smile
A           Am
I watch her go
        E              C#m
With a surge of that well-known sadness
A                B             E
And I have to sit down for a while

      A              B            E      G#m
The feeling that I'm loosing her forever
    A             B              E
And without really entering her world
     A               B           E
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
       B             E      E
That funny little girl

                   A                 E
Slipping through my fingers all the time
       G#m            F#m
I try to capture every minute
   B          E
The feeling in it
                   B               E
Slipping through my fingers all the time
           A               E
Do I really see what's in her mind
          G#m                F#m
Each time I think I'm close to knowing

   A           E
She keeps on growing
                       B           E
Slipping through my fingers all the time

 A            Am
Sleep in our eyes
       E                    C#m
Her and me at the breakfast table
A          Am
Barely awake
       E                G#m
I let precious time go by
 A              Am
Then when she's gone
  E                         C#m
There's that odd melancholy feeling
A               B
And a sense of guilt
          E
I can't deny
       A               B              E   G#m
What happened to the wonderful adventures
      A              B               E
The places I had planned for us to go

(slipping through my fingers all the time)
      A            B
Well some of that we did
               E
But most we didn't
     B                E
And why I just don't know

                   A                 E
Slipping through my fingers all the time
       G#m            F#m
I try to capture every minute
   B          E
The feeling in it
                   B               E
Slipping through my fingers all the time
           A               E
Do I really see what's in her mind
          G#m                F#m
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
   A           E
She keeps on growing
                       B           E
Slipping through my fingers all the time

 A                      B               E        G#
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
    A               B               E
And save it from the funny tricks of time
E                   A   B    E
  Slipping through my fingers

[Solo]

A             Am
Schoolbag in hand
             E          C#m
She leaves home in the early morning
A         Am
Waving goodbye
         E             G#m
With an absent-minded smile
