[Verse]
A Am/C E C#m
Schoolbag in hand She leaves home in the early morning
A Am/C E G#m
Waving goodbye With an absent-minded smile
A Am/C E C#m
I watch her go With a surge of that well-known sadness
A Bsus4 B E
And I have to sit down for a while
A B/D# E G#
The feeling that I'm loosing her forever
A B E
And without really entering her world
A B/D# E
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
Bsus4 B Esus4 E
That funny little girl
[Chorus]
E A6 E
Slipping through my fingers all the time
G#m F#m B E
I try to capture every minute The feeling in it
Bsus4 B E
Slipping through my fingers all the time
A6 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
Bsus4 B E
Slipping through my fingers all the time
[Verse]
A Am/C E C#m
Sleep in our eyes Her and me at the breakfast table
A Am/C E G#m
Barely awake I let precious time go by
A Am/C E C#m
Then when she's gone There's that odd melancholy feeling
A Bsus4 B E
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
A B/D# E G#
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/d# E
Well some of that we did But most we didn't
Bsus4 B Esus4 E
And why I just don't know
[Chorus]
E A6 E
Slipping through my fingers all the time
G#m F#m B E
I try to capture every minute The feeling in it
Bsus4 B E
Slipping through my fingers all the time
A6 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
Bsus4 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/G# A B E
Slipping through my fingerS
