Slipping through my fingers Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[F]Schoolbag in [Fm]hand,
she leaves [C]home in the [Em]early morning
[F]Waving goodbye[Fm]
with an [C]absent-minded [Em]smile
[F]I watch her g[Fm]o
with a [C]surge of that [Em]well- known sadness
[F]And I have to sit[G] down for a whi[C]le

[Pre-chorus 1]
The [F]feeling that I'm [G]losing her [C]fore[E]ver
And [F]without really [G]entering her [C]world
I'm [F]glad whenever [G]I can share her l[C]aughter
That [G]funny little [C]girl

[Chorus 1]
Slipping through my [F]fingers all the [C]time
I try to [Em]cap ture every [Dm]mi nute
The [F]feeling [C]in it
Slipping through my [G]fingers all the [C]time
Do I really [F]see what's in her [C]mind
Each time I [Em]think I'm close to [Dm]knowing
She [F]keeps on [C]growing
Slipping through my [G]fingers all the [C]time

[Verse 2]
[F]Sleep in our [Fm]eyes,
her and [C]me at the [Em]breakfast table
[F]Barely awak[Fm]e
I let [C]precious time go [Em]by
[F]Then when she's [Fm]gone,
there's that [C]odd melan[Em]choly feeling
[F]And a sense of [G]guilt I can't de[C]ny

[Pre-chorus 2]
What [F]happened to the [G]wonderful ad[C]ventures
[E]The pla[F]ces I had pla[G]nned for us to go[C]
(Slipping through my fingers all...)
[F]Well, some of that we [G]did but most we [C]didn't
And [G]why, I just don't [C]know

[Chorus 2]
Slipping through my [F]fingers all the [C]time
I try to [Em]cap ture every [Dm]mi nute
The [F]feeling [C]in it
Slipping through my [G]fingers all the [C]time
Do I really [F]see what's in her [C]mind
Each time I [Em]think I'm close to [Dm]knowing
She [F]keeps on [C]growing
Slipping through my [G]fingers all the [C]time

[Bridge 1]
Some [F]times I wish
that [G]I could freeze the p[C]icture
[E]And sav[F]e it from the fun[G]ny tricks of tim[C]e
[Em]Slipping through my [F]fingers[G][C]

[Solo 1]
[F][C][Em][Dm][F]
[C][G][C]
[F][C][Em][Dm][F]
[C]Slipping through my fin[G]gers all the tim[C]e

[Verse 3]
[F]Schoolbag in [Fm]hand,
she leaves [C]home in the [Em]early morning
[F]Waving goodbye[Fm]
with an [C]absent-minded [Em]smile
