[Verse 1]
Bb Bbm F
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Bb Bbm F Am
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
Bb Bbm F Am
I watch her go with a surge of that well known sadness
Bb C F
And I have to sit down for a while
Bb C F Am
The feeling that I'm losing her forever
Bb C F
And without really entering her world
Bb C F
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
C Fsus F
That funny little girl
[Chorus]
Bb Bbm F
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Am Gm
I try to capture every minute
Bb F
The feeling in it
C F
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Bb Bbm F
Do I really see what's in her mind
Am Gm
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
Bb F
She keeps on growing
C F
Slipping through my fingers all the time
[Verse 2]
Bb Bbm F Am
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
Bb Bbm F Am
Barely awake I let precious time go by
Bb Bbm F Am
Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling
Bb C F
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
Bb C F Am
What happened to the wonderful adventures
Bb C F
The places I had planned for us to go
Bb C F
Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't
C Fsus F
And why, I just don't know
[Chorus]
Bb Bbm F
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Am Gm
I try to capture every minute
Bb F
The feeling in it
C F
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Bb Bbm F
Do I really see what's in her mind
Am Gm
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
Bb F
She keeps on growing
C F
Slipping through my fingers all the time
[Verse 3]
Bb C F Am
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
Bb C F
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Bb Bbm F
Slipping through my fingers
[Solo]
Bb Bbm F Am Gm
Bb F C F
C F Am Gm
Bb F
C F
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Bb Bbm F Am
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Bb Bbm F Am
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
