_ _ School [Gm] bag in hand

[Gm] _
[D] With a surge [F#m] of a well-known [G] sadness

[F#] [G] And without [A] really answering [D] her word
_ [E] [F#m] I'm _ _
_ [G] glad whenever [A] I could share [D] her laughter
[A] That funny little [D] girl _ _ _ _
Slipping [G] through my fingers all [E] the time

_ _ [G] The [D] feeling in it
Slipping through my [A] fingers [D] all the time _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ Slip in our [Gm] eyes
Her and [E] me at the [F#m] breakfast _ [G] table _ _ [Gm] Barely awake
[D] I let precious [F#m] time go _ [G] by
_ Then [Gm] when she's gone
[D] There's this odd [F#m] _ melancholy [G] feeling
And a [D] sense of guilt [A] I can't [D] deny _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] What happened to [A] all the wonderful _ [D] _ adventures? _
_ _ [F#] _ [G] The places [A] I'd planned for us [D] to go _ _

[E] I try [F#m] to catch her [Em] every _ minute
_ [G] The [D] feeling in it
Slipping [E] through my fingers all [D] the time

Each time [F#m] I think I'm close [Em] to knowing
_ She [G] keeps [D] on growing
Slipping through [A] my fingers [D] all the time
_ [G] Sometimes I wish [A] that I could freeze [D] the picture _
_ _ [F#] _ [G] And save it [A] from the funny tricks of [D] time
_ Slipping through [G] my [A] fingers all the [D] time
_ [G] _
School bag [Gm] in hand
[E] She lives home in the early _ [G] morning
_ _ Waving goodbye _
With [E] an absent-minded [D] smile
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
