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