VERSE
F Fm/FSchoolbag in hand
F F#mShe leaves home in the early morning
F Fm/FWaving goodbye
F B#mWith an absent-minded smile
F FmI watch her go
F F#mWith a surge of that well-known sadness
F Gsus4 G FAnd I have to sit down for a while
F G/Bmbass F BmThe feeling that I'm loosing her forever
F G FAnd without really entering her world
F G/Bmbass FI'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
Gsus4 G Fsus4 FThat funny little girl
CHORUS
F F6 FSlipping through my fingers all the time
B#m C#mI try to capture every minute
G FThe feeling in it
Gsus4 G FSlipping through my fingers all the time
F6 FDo I really see what's in her mind
B#m C#mEach time I think I'm close to knowing
F FShe keeps on growing
Gsus4 G FSlipping through my fingers all the time
VERSE
Sleep in our eyes
Her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake
I let precious time go by
Then when she's gone
There's that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt
I can't deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go
slipping through my fingers all the time
Well some of that we did
But most we didn't
And why I just don't know
CHORUS
F G F BmSometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
F G FAnd save it from the funny tricks of time
F/Bmbass F G FSlipping through my fing ers
