Slipping Through My Fingers Chords by Abba

[Bb] _ School bag in [Bbm] hand, [F] she leaves home in [Am] the early [Bb] morning
Waving [Bbm] goodbye with [F] an absent-minded [Am]
smile
_ [Bb] I watch [Bbm] her go with [F] a search of [Am] that well-known [Bb] sadness
And I have [Fm] to sit [C] down for a [F] while
The _ [Bb] feeling that [C] I'm losing her [F]
forever
[A] _ [Bb] And without [C] really entering [F] the world
_ [Bb] I'm glad when [Am] I [C] can share [F] a laugh with [C] that funny little [F] girl
Sticking [Bb] through my fingers all [F] the time
I try [Am] to capture every [Gm] minute _
[F] The feeling in it
Sticking through [C] my fingers all the [F] time
Nobody [Bb] to see what's in their [F] mind
[Am] Each time I think [Gm] I'm close to knowing
She [F] keeps on going
Sticking through [C] my fingers [F] all the time _
[Bb] _ Sleeping her [Bbm] [F] eyes were on me
At the [Dm] breakfast [Bb] table
Barely [Bbm] awake
I [F] let precious [Am] time go by
_ _ [Bb] There when she's [Bbm] gone
There's [F] that odd melancholy feeling
[Bb] And this sense [C] of guilt [F] I can't deny
_ [Bb] What happened to [C] the one [F] adventure?
_ [A] _ [Bb] The places I [C] have been
For us [F] to go
_ _ [Bb] Well, some of that [C] we did
But most [F] we didn't
I [C] _ [F] just don't know
Sticking [Bb] through my fingers all [F] the time
I try [Am] to capture every [Gm] minute
[Bb] The [F] feeling in it
Sticking [C] through my fingers all [F] the time
Nobody [Bb] to see what's in [F] their mind
Each time [Am] I think I'm close [Gm] to knowing _
[Bb] She keeps [F] on going
Sticking [C] through my fingers all [F] the time
[Bb] Sometimes I wish [C] I could [F] freeze the picture
[A] _ [Bb] And save it [C] from the little waste [F] of time
Sticking [Bb] through my [F] fingers _
_ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [Bb] _ [F] Sticking through my fingers all the time
_ [Bb] _ [Bbm] Stupid
[F] She leaves me in the [Am] air
[Bb] _ Waving [Bbm] goodbye
With [F] an ever [Am]-ended smile
