Slipping Through My Fingers

    C         Cm               G 
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves 
          Bm
home in the early morning
C          Cm        
 Waving goodbye with an 
   G             Bm
absent-minded smile
C           Cm          G       
I watch her go with a surge of 
       Bm
that well-known sadness
C                  D            G
 And I have to sit down for a 
  C  G
while

       C                D     
The feeling that I'm losing her 
    G     B
forever
       C                D     
And without really entering her 
    G  B
world
       C          D               
I'm glad whenever I can share her 
G
laughter
       D           G  C G
That funny little girl

    G                C            
Slipping through my fingers all 
   G
the time
            Bm          Am
I try to capture every minute
      C         G
The feeling in it
    G                 D           
Slipping through my fingers all 
   G
the time

     G       C                G
Do I really see what's in her mind?
             Bm               
Each time I think I'm close to 
  Am
knowing
     C        G
She keeps on growing

Slipping through my fingers all 
   G   C G
the time

C           Cm
Sleep in our eyes
       G         Bm
Her and me at the breakfast table
C       Cm           Em         
 Barely awake, I let precious 
      B
time go by

C               Cm
 Then when she's gone
              G        Bm
There's that odd melancholy feeling
C                 D            G 
 And a sense of guilt I can't 
 C  G
deny

     C               D       
What happened to the wonderful 
     G      B
adventures?
    C            D                
The places I had planned for us to
G  B
 go
      C               D           
Well, some of that we did, but 
  G
most we didn't
     D               G    C  G
And why I just don't know

    G                C            
Slipping through my fingers all 
   G
the time
            Bm          Am
I try to capture every minute
      C         G
The feeling in it
    G                 D           
Slipping through my fingers all 
   G
the time


     G       C                G
Do I really see what's in her mind?

She keeps on growing
    G                 D           
Slipping through my fingers all 
   G  C  G
the time

  C
Sometimes I wish
       D                G      B
That I could freeze the picture
    C                Cm           
And save it from the funny tricks 
    G
of time
B                      C       G
  Slipping through my fingers

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves

 Waving goodbye with an
