Chords for Meryl Streep - Slipping Through My Fingers (From "Mamma Mia!") [Lyrics Video]

_ _ School bag [Gm] in hand, she [D] leaves _ home in the early [G] morning
_ Waving goodbye _ with an [D] absent [F#m]-minded _ smile
_ _ _ _ [G] I watch [Gm] her go _ [D] with a _ surge of that well-known [G] sadness
And I have [A] to sit down [D] for a _ _ while
_ _ [G] The feeling that [A] I'm losing [D] her forever
_ [F#] _ And _ [G] _
without [A] really entering her [D] _ _
world
_ _ _ [G] I'm glad whenever [A] I can share [D] her laughter
[A] That funny little [D] _ _
girl
_ _ Slipping through [G] my fingers all [D] the time
I try [F#m] to capture every [Em] _ minute _ _
The [G] feeling [D] in it
Slipping through [A] my fingers all [D] the time
Do I [G] really see what's in [D] her mind?
Each time [F#m] I think I'm close [Em] to knowing
_ _ She [G] keeps [D] on growing
Slipping through [A] my fingers all [D] the time _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ I sleep in [Gm] our eyes
_ [D] Her and me at the breakfast _ [G] table
_ _ [Gm] Barely awake, I [D] let precious time [F#m] go _ _ by
_ _ _ [G] Then when [Gm] she's gone
There's [D] that odd _ _ melancholy feeling
[G] And the sense [A] of guilt I [D] can't _ deny
_ _ _ [G] What happened to [A] those wonderful _ [D] _
adventures?
_ [F#] _ _ _ [G] The places I [A] had planned for us to [D] go
_ _ _ _ _ [G] Well, some of that [A] we did
But most [D] we didn't
_ [A] And why, I [D] just don't _ know
_ Slipping through [G] my fingers all the [D] time
I try to [F#m] capture every [Em] _ minute _ _
The [G] feeling [D] in it
Slipping through [A] my fingers [D] all the time
Do I [G] really see what's in [D] her mind?
Each time [F#m] I think I'm close [Em] to knowing
_ _ She keeps [D] on growing
Slipping through [A] my fingers all [D] the time
[G] Sometimes I wish [A] that I could freeze [D] the picture
_ [F#] _ And _ [G] save it from [A] the funny tricks of [D] time
Slipping through [G] my _ [D] _ fingers _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] School bag [D] in hand
She leaves home in the early morning
[G] _ _ Waving [Gm] goodbye
_ [D] With an absent _ -minded smile
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _
