[Verse]

C            Cm               
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves 
G           Bm
home in the early morning
C      Cm            
Waving goodbye with 
   G             Bm
an absent-minded smile
C           Cm        G            
I watch her go with a surge of that 
Bm
well-known sadness
C             D              G
And I have to sit down for a while
 
[Pre-Chorus]

C                
The feeling that 
    D        G        B
I'm losing her forever
C                  D            G
And without really entering her world
C                 
I'm glad whenever 
D           G
I can share her laughter
D                 G
That funny little girl
 
[Chorus]

G                
Slipping through 
   C               G
my fingers all the time
         Bm            Am
I try to capture every minute
C           G
The feeling in it
G                   D      
Slipping through my fingers 
        G
all the time
            C   
Do I really see 
              G
what's in her mind?
            Bm     
Each time I think 
             Am
I'm close to knowing
    C        G
She keeps on growing
                 
Slipping through 
   D               G
my fingers all the time
 
[Verse]

C            Cm            G  
Sleep in our eyes, her and me   
       Bm
at the breakfast table   
C     Cm            
Barely awake, I let 
G                Bm
precious time go by
C               Cm     
Then when she's gone, 
             G         Bm
there's that odd melancholy feeling
      C            D 
And a sense of guilt 
        G
I can't deny
 
[Pre-Chorus]

C                   D         G         B
What happened to the wonderful adventures
C                D      
The places I had planned 
       G
for us to go?

(Slipping through 

my fingers all the time)
C                   
Well, some of that 
   D               G
we did but most we didn't
D                     G
And why? I just don't know
 
[Chorus]

G               
Slipping through 
   C               G
my fingers all the time
         Bm           Am
I try to capture every minute
C           G
The feeling in it
                 
Slipping through 
   D               G
my fingers all the time 
            C   
Do I really see 
             G
what's in her mind?
            Bm    
Each time I think 
             Am
I'm close to knowing
C            G
She keeps on growing
                  
Slipping through  
   D               G
my fingers all the time 
 
C                     D        
Sometimes I wish that I could 
           G       Bm
freeze the picture
    C                
And save it from the 
D               G 
funny tricks of time
