Slipping Through...(Demo) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Schoolbag [Gm]in hand,
she [D]leaves home in the early [F#m]morning[G]
Waving good[Gm]bye with an
[D]absent- minded [F#m]smile
[G]I watch h[Gm]er go with a s[D]urge of
that [F#m]well- known sadness
[G]And I have to sit dow[A]n for a w[D]hile

[Verse 2]
The [G]feeling that I'm [A]losing
her [D]forever[F#]
[G]And without really en
[A]tering [D]her world
[G]I'm glad whenever I [A]can
share [D]her laughter
[A]That funny little [D]girl[Dsus4][D]

[Verse 3]
Slipping through my [G]fingers all the time
[D]I try to captur[F#m]e every minu[Em]te
The [G]feeling [D]in it
Slipping through my [Asus4]fingers a[A]ll t[D]he time
Do I really [G]see what's in her mind
[D]Each time I t[F#m]hink I'm close to [Em]knowing
She [G]keeps on [D]growing
Slipping through my [Asus4]fingers a[A]ll t[D]he time
[G]Sleep in our

[Verse 4]
[Gm]eyes,
her [D]and me at [F#m]the breakfast [G]table
Barely [Gm]awake, I let [D]precious time go [F#m]by
[G]Then when she's [Gm]gone,
there's that [D]odd melancholy feeling
[G]And a sense of [A]guilt I can't [D]deny

[Verse 5]
What [G]happened to the
[A]wonderful ad[D]ventures[F#]
The [G]places I had [A]planned for
us [D]to go
(Slipping through
my fingers all the time)
Well, [G]some of that [A]we did
but most we [D]didn't
And [A]why, I just [D]don't know

[Verse 6]
Slipping through my [G]fingers all the time
[D]I try to captur[F#m]e every minu[Em]te
The [G]feeling in [D]it
Slipping through my [A]fingers all [D]the time
Do I really [G]see what's in her mind
[D]Each time I t[F#m]hink I'm close to [Em]knowing
She [G]keeps on [D]growing
Slipping through my [A]fingers all [D]the time

[Verse 7]
Some[G]times I wish that [A]I
could freeze the [D]picture
[F#]And save[G] it from the
[A]funny tricks [D]of time
Slipping through my [G]fin[A]ger[D]s
[G]Slip

[Verse 8]
[D]pin[F#m]g[Em][G][D][Asus4][A][D][G][D]
[F#m]throug[Em]h my[G] fin[D]gers all the t[A]ime[D]

[Verse 9]
[G]Schoolbag [Gm]in hand she leaves
[D]home in the [F#m]early morning
[G]Waving goo[Gm]dbye with an
[D]absent- minded [F#m]smile
