Slipping through my fingers

Schoolbag in hand G Gm/B^b
she leaves home D
in the early morning Bm
Waving goodbye G Gm/B^b
with an absent-minded D
smile F^#
I watch her go G Gm
with a surge of that D
well-known sadness Bm
And I have to sit down G A
for a while (Dsus4) D (oooooh f#ed)
The feeling that G
I’m losing her A/C^#
Forever D F^#
c#dbbaaggf#aa (f#ed)
And without really G
entering her world A D
c#dbbaaggf#a (f#ed)
I’m glad whenever G
I can share her laughter A/C^#D
c#dbbaaggf#aa
That funny little girl Asus4 Dsus4 D

Refr: Slipping through my G6
fingers all the time D
f#adf#aaagf#
I try to capture F^#
every minute Bm
f#dba# f#c#a#bb
The feeling in it G D
bbf#aa
Slipping through my
fingers all the time A D
f#adf#aaagf#
Do I really see what’s G6
in her mind D
f#adf#aaagf#
Each time I think F^#
I’m close to knowing Bm
f#dba# f#c#a#bb
She keeps on growing G D
bbf#aa
Slipping through my A
fingers all the time D

Sleep in our eyes G Gm/B^b
her and me D
at the breakfast table Bm
bbc#a#bcd dedc#ba
Barely awake, G Gm/B^b
I let precious time go by D F^#
bbc#a#bcd c#bab
Then when she’s gone G Gm
there’s that odd D
melancholy feeling Bm
bbc#a#bcd dedc#ba
And a sense of guilt G A
I can’t deny (Dsus4) D
ggggaaaaa
What happened to G
the wonderful A/C^#
adventures D F^#
The places I had planned G A
for us to go (slipping…) D
Well, some of that we G
did but most we didn’t A/C^# D
And why I just don’t now
Asus4 A Dsus4 D
