Slipping Through My Fingers Chords

  			 !! 
 
(VERSE) (A) Schoolbag in (Am/C) hand 
She (E) leaves home in the (C#m) early morning 
(A) Waving (Am/C) goodbye 
With an (E) absent-minded (G#m) smile 
(A) I watch her go (Am) 
With a (E) surge of that (C#m) well-known sadness 
(A) And I have to sit (Bsus4) down (B) for a while (E)  
The (A) feeling that I'm (B/D#bass) loosing her (E) forever  (G#) 
And (A) without really (B) entering her world (E)  
I'm (A) glad whenever I (B/D#bass) can share her (E) laughter 
That (Bsus4) funny (B) little girl (Esus4)  (E)  
 
(Chorus) (E) Slipping through my (A6) fingers all the (E) time 
I try to (G#m) capture every (F#m) minute 
The (B) feeling in (E) it 
Slipping through my (Bsus4) fingers (B) all the (E) time 
Do I really (A6) see what's in her (E) mind 
Each time I (G#m) think I'm close to (F#m) knowing 
She (A) keeps on (E) growing 
Slipping through my (Bsus4) fingers (B) all the (E) time 
 
(VERSE) Sleep in our eyes 
Her and me at the breakfast table 
Barely awake 
I let precious time go by 
Then when she's gone 
There's that odd melancholy feeling 
And a sense of guilt 
I can't deny 
What happened to the wonderful adventures 
The places I had planned for us to go (slipping through my fingers all the time) 
Well some of that we did 
But most we didn't 
And why I just don't know 
 
(Chorus) 
 
(A) Sometimes I wish that I (B) could freeze the (E) picture (G#) 
And (A) save it from the (B) funny tricks of (E) time  
(E/G#bass) Slipping through my (A) fing(B) ers  (E)

Schoolbag in hand 
She leaves home in the early morning 
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded (G#m) smile
