Verse:
G Schoolbag in Gm hand
She leaves D home in the F#m early morning
G Waving good Gm bye
With an D absent-minded F#m smile
G I watch her Gm go
With a D surge of that F#m well-known sadness
G And I have to A sit down for a D while D
Verse:
The G feeling that I’m A losing her for D ever F#
And G without really A entering her D world D
I’m G glad whenever I A can share her D laughter,
that Asus4 funny little Dsus4 girl D
Chorus:
Slipping through my G fingers all the D time Em
I try to F#m capture every Em minute G
The G feeling D in it
Slipping through my Asus4 fingers A all the D time
Do I really G see what’s in her D mind
Each time I F#m think I’m close to Em knowing
She G keeps on D growing
Slipping through my Asus4 fingers A all the D time
Verse:
G Sleep in our Gm eyes
Her and D me at the F#m breakfast table
G Barely a Gm wake
I let D precious time go F#m by
G Then when she’s Gm gone
There’s that D odd melan F#m choly feeling
G And a sense of A guilt I can’t de D ny
Verse:
What G happened to the A wonderful ad D ventures F#
The G places I had A planned for us to D go D/F#
(slipping through my fingers all the time)
G Well some of that we A did
But most we D didn’t
And Asus4 why I just don’t Dsus4 know D
Chorus:
Slipping through my G fingers all the D time
I try to F#m capture every Em minute
The G feeling D in it
Slipping through my Asus4 fingers A all the D time
Do I really G see what’s in her D mind
Each time I F#m think I’m close to Em knowing
She G keeps on D growing 1Strum
Slipping through my Asus4 fingers A all the D time
Verse:
G Sometimes I wish that I A could freeze the D picture F#
And G save it from the A funny tricks of D time
D/F# Slipping through my G fingers A D
