[Bb]
[C] [F] [C] [F]
[Bb] School bag in [Bbm] hand, [F] she leaves home in [Am] the [Bb] morning
Waving [Bbm] goodbye with [F] an accent-minded [Am] smile
[Bb] I watch [Bbm] her go
[F] In the search of that word known as [Bb] sadness
And I have [C] to sit down for [F] a while
The [Bb] feeling that [C] I'm losing her [F] forever
[A] [Bb] And [C] without really entering [F] her world
[Bb] I'm glad [C] whenever I can [F] share a laughter
[C] That's funny, [F] it'll go
Slipping [Bb] through my fingers [F] all the time
I try [Am] to capture [Gm] every minute
[Bb] The [F] feeling in me
Slipping through [C] my fingers [F] all the time
Do I really [Bb] see [F] what's in her mind
Each time I [Am] think I'm [Gm] close to knowing
[Bb] She [F] keeps on going
[C] Slipping through my fingers [F] all the time
[Bb] Sleep [Bbm] in her eyes, [F] her and me at the breakfast [Bb] table
[Bbm] Barely awake, I let [F] precious [Dm] time go [Am] by
[Bb] Then when [Bbm] she's gone
[F] There's that odd melancholy [Bb] feeling
And a sense [C] of guilt I [F] can't deny
[Bb] What happened to [C] the wonderful [F] adventure
[A] [Bb] The places [C] I had for us [F] to go
Well, [Bb] some of that [C] we did
But most [F] we didn't
[C] [F] I just don't know
Slipping through [Bb] my fingers all the [F] time
I try to [Am] capture every [Gm] minute
[Bb] The feeling [F] in me
Slipping through [C] my fingers all [F] the time
Do I [Bb] really see what's in [F] her mind
Each time [Am] I think I'm close [Gm] to knowing
She [Bb] keeps [F] on going
Slipping through [C] my fingers all [F] the time
[Bb] Sometimes I wish [C] that I could freeze [F] the picture
[A] And [Bb] save it from [C] the money tricks [F] of time
