Chords for Declan McKenna - Slipping Through My Fingers (Official Audio)

_ I scold [Cm] Beggin' Hand, [G] she leaves home in the early [C] morning
[Cm] Waving goodbye [Em] with an absent [B]-minded [C] smile
I watch her go [G] with a surge of that well-known [C] sadness
And I [E] have to sit down [G] for a while
The _ [C] feeling that [G] I'm losing her forever
_ [C] While never [D] really entering [G] her world
_ [C] I'm glad [D] whenever I can [G] share her laughter
[D] That funny [G] little girl
_ [C] Slipping through my fingers [G] all the time
I [Bm] try to catch her [Am] every minute
The [G] feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each [Bm] time I think [Am] I'm close to knowing
She keeps [G] on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time _
[C] Sleep in our eyes
[Eb] Her [G] and me at the breakfast [C] table
Barely [A] awake, I [Em] let precious time go [C] by
Then when she's gone, [Eb] [G] there's that old melancholy [C] feeling
And a sense of [E] guilt I can't deny
[G] _
[C] What happened [E] to our wonderful [G] adventures _
[Am] The places [E] I had planned for [G] us to go
Well, [C] some of that [D] we did, but [G] most we didn't
[D] And why, I just [G] don't know
_ [C] Slipping through my fingers [G] all the time
I [B] try to catch her [Am] every minute
The [G] feeling in it
[D] Slipping through my fingers [G] all the time
[C] Do I really see what's [G] in her mind
Each [Bm] time I think I'm [Am] close to knowing
She [G] keeps on growing
[Bm] Slipping through my fingers [G] all the time
_ _ [C] Sometimes I wish that I [G] could phrase the picture
_ [Cm] And save it from the funny [G] tricks of time
[Gb] Slipping through [C] my _ _ [G] fingers _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[D] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
_ [C] School bag [Cm] in hand
She [G] leaves home in the early [C] morning
[Ab] Waving goodbye [Em] with an [Bm] absent-minded smile
