Slipping Through My Fingers - ABBA (Lyrics) Chords

_ _ _ Through a bag in hand, [Bbm] [F] she leaves home in the [Am] early [Bb] morning
_ Waving [Bbm] goodbye _ with [F] an absent [Am]-minded smile
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] I watch [Bbm] her go _ [F] with a search of that [Am] well-known [Bb] sadness
And I have [C] to sit down for [F] a while _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] The feeling of [C] losing her [F] _ forever
_ [A] _ _ _ [Bb] And without her [C] _ _ entering [F] the world
_ _ _ _ [Bb] I'm glad when [Am] I [C] can [F] share a laugh _
_ [C] with that funny little [F] _ girl
_ _ _ Slipping [Bb] through my fingers all [F] the time
I try [Am] to capture [Gm] every _ minute
_ _ [Bb] Of [F] feeling in it
[C] Slipping through my fingers [F] all the time
Do [Bb] I really see what's [F] in their mind?
Each [Am] time I think I'm [Gm] close to knowing
_ _ _ [Bb] She [F] keeps on growing
Slipping [C] through my fingers all [F] the _ _ time _ _ _
[Bb] Deep in [Bbm] her eyes, [F] her and me
At _ [Am] breakfast [Bb] table, _ _ barely [Bbm] awake
[F] I let precious time [Am] go _ by
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ There, when [Bbm] she's gone
_ [F] There's that unknown, _ unknown feeling
[Bb] 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 _ promised [F] to go _
_ _ _ [Bb] Well, some of that [C] we did
But [F] most we didn't _
[C] _ _ I [F] just don't know
_ _ Slipping [Bb] through my fingers all [F] the time
I try [Am] to capture every [Gm] _ minute
_ _ [Bb] Of [F] feeling in it
Slipping [C] through my fingers all [F] the time
Do I [Bb] really see what's in [F] their mind?
Each time [Am] I think I'm close [Gm] to knowing
_ _ _ She [F] keeps on growing
Slipping [C] through my fingers all [F] the time
[Bb] _ Sometimes I wish [C] _ the [F] breeze _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [Bb] Can save it from [C] the little drifts [F] of [Am] time
Slipping through [Bb] my fingers
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[C] Through my fingers [F] all the _ _ _ _ time
_ [Bb] Full bag [Bbm] in hand, she [F] leaves
Home in the [Am] air, _ [Bb] _ _ _
waving [Bbm] goodbye
With [F] an _ _ [Am] unminded smile _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
