[Verse 1]
E Em
Schoolbag in hand
B D#m
She leaves home in the early morning
E Em
Waving goodbye
B D#m
With an absent-minded smile
E Em
I watch her go
B D#m
With a surge of that well-known sadness
E F# B
And I have to sit down for a while
[Pre-Chorus]
E F#/A# B D#
The feeling that I'm losing her forever
E F# B B/D#
And without really entering her world
E F#/A# B F#sus4 Bsus4 B
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter, that funny little girl
[Chorus]
E B
Slipping through my fingers all the time
D#m C#m
I try to capture every minute
E B
The feeling in it
F#sus4 F# B
Slipping through my fingers all the time
E B
Do I really see what's in her mind
D#m C#m
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
E B
She keeps on growing
F#sus4 F# B
Slipping through my fingers all the time
[Verse 2]
E Em
Sleep in our eyes
B D#m
Her and me at the breakfast table
E Em
Barely awake
B D#m
I let precious time go by
E Em
Then when she's gone
B D#m
There's that odd melancholy feeling
E F# B
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
[Pre-Chorus]
E F#/A# B D#
What happened to the wonderful adventures
E F# B B/D#
The places I had planned for us to go (slipping through my fingers all the time)
E F#/A#
Well some of that we did
B
But most we didn't
F#sus4 Bsus4 B
And why I just don't know
[Chorus]
E B
Slipping through my fingers all the time
D#m C#m
I try to capture every minute
E B
The feeling in it
F#sus4 F# B
Slipping through my fingers all the time
E B
Do I really see what's in her mind
D#m C#m
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
E B
She keeps on growing
F#sus4 F# B
Slipping through my fingers all the time
[Verse]
E F# B D#
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
E F# B
And save it from the funny tricks of time
B/D# E F# B
Slipping through my fingers
[Solo]
E B D#m C#m E B F#sus4 F# B
E B D#m C#m E B F#sus4 B
Slipping through my fingers all the time
[Outro]
E Em
Schoolbag in hand
B D#m
She leaves home in the early morning
E Em B D#m
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
