Slipping Through My Fingers Chords by Abba

[Bb] School bag in [Bbm] hand, [F] she leaves home [Am] in the early [Bb] morning
[Bbm] Waving goodbye [F] with an absent [Am]-minded smile
_ _ [Bb] I [Bbm] watch her go [F] with a search [Am] of that well-known [Bb] sadness
And I [F] have to [C] sit down [F] for a while
_ [Bb] The feeling [C] that I'm losing [F] her forever
[A] _ [Bb] And without [C] really entering [F] the world
_ [Bb] I'm glad when [Am] [C] I can [F] share her life [C] with a little [F] girl
_ [Bb] Slipping through my fingers [F] all the time
I [Am] try to capture [Gm] every minute
[Bb] Her [F] feeling in it
[C] Slipping through my fingers [F] all the time
[Bb] I really see what's [F] in her mind
Each [Am] time I think I'm [Gm] close to knowing
[Bb] She [F] keeps on growing
Slipping [C] through my fingers [F] all the time _
[Bb] Sleep [Bbm] in our eyes, [F] her and me
At the [Dm] breakfast [Bb] table
[Bbm] Barely awake, [F] I let precious [Am] time go by
_ [Bb] There [Bbm] when she's gone
[F] There's that un-melancholy [Bb] feeling
And this [C] sense of guilt I [F] can't deny
_ [Bb] What happened [C] to the [F] one adventure?
[A] _ [Bb] The places [C] I had for [F] us to go
So [Bb] well, so well [C] that we did
But [F] most we didn't, [C] _ [F] I just don't know
[Bb] Slipping through my fingers [F] all the time
I [Am] try to capture [Gm] every minute
[Bb] Her [F] feeling in it
[C] Slipping through my fingers [F] all the time
[Bb] I really see what's [F] in her mind
Each [Am] time I think I'm [Gm] close to knowing
[Bb] She [F] keeps on growing
Slipping through my [C] fingers [F] all the time
[Bb] Sometimes I [C] wish I could [F] freeze the picture
[A] _ _ [Bb] And save it [C] from the [F] matrix for time
[Bb] Slipping through my [F] fingers _ _
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _ _
_ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [Bb] [F] Each day she knows
The through my fingers all the _ [Bb] time
School bag [Bbm] in hand
She [F] leaves home in [Am] the air
_ [Bb] _ [Bbm] Waving goodbye
[F] With an [Am] abandoned smile _ _ _ _ _
