Verse :
C Cm
Schoolbag in hand
G Bm
She leaves home in the early morning
C Cm
Waving goodbye
G Bm
With an absent-minded smile
C Dbm
I watch her go
G Bm
With a surge of that well-known sadness
C D Gsus4 G
And I have to sit down for a while
C D G B
The feeling that I'm loosing her forever
C D G
And without really entering her world
C D G D Gsus4 G
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter, that funny little girl
Chorus :
C D G
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Bm Am
I try to capture every minute
G
The feeling in it
D Gsus4 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
G
She keeps on growing
D Gsus4 G
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Verse :
C Cm
Sleep in our eyes
G Bm
Her and me at the breakfast table
C Cm
Barely awake
G Bm
I let precious time go by
C Cm
Then when she's gone
G Bm
There's that odd melancholy feeling
C D Gsus4 G
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
C D G
What happened to the wonderful adventures
C D G
The places I had planned for us to go -slipping through my fingers all the time-
C D
Well some of that we did
G
But most we didn't
D Gsus4 G
And why I just don't know
Chorus :
C D G
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Bm Am
I try to capture every minute
G
The feeling in it
D Gsus4 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
G
She keeps on growing
D Gsus4 G
Slipping through my fingers all the time
C D G Bm
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
C D G
And save it from the funny tricks of time
C D
Slipping through my fingers
C Cm
Schoolbag in hand
G Bm
She leaves home in the early morning
C Cm G Bm
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
