C Cm G Bm Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning C Cm G Bm Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile C Cm G Bm I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness C D G And I have to sit down for a while C D G B The feeling that I'm losing her forever C D G And without really entering her world C D G I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter D G That funny little girl Chorus: G C G Slipping through my fingers all the time Bm Am I try to capture every minute C G The feeling in it G D G Slipping through my fingers all the time C G Do I really see what's in her mind? Bm Am Each time I think I'm close to knowing C G She keeps on growing D G Slipping through my fingers all the time 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 old melancholy feeling And a sense of guilt I can't deny What happened to our wonderful adventures The places I had planned for us to go? Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't And why, I just don't know Chorus: Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind? Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time C D G Bm Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture C D G And save it from the funny tricks of time Slipping through my fingers Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  B  Bm  C  Cm  D  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
