Slipping Through My Fingers

4
4 moderately slow

Куплет 1:
   A#         A#m
Schoolbag in hand
            F          Dm
She leaves home in the early morning
A#            A#m
  Waving goodbye
        F               Am
With an absent-minded smile
A#           A#m
I watch her go
        F             Dm
With a surge of that well-known sadness
A#               C               F
  And I have to sit down for a while

     A#               C             F    A
The feeling that I'm loosing her forever
     A#            C             F
And without really entering her world
      A#          C                F
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
      C            F
That funny little girl

Припев:
  F                  A#              F
Slipping through my fingers all the time
          Am            Gm
I try to capture every minute
A#            F
  The feeling in it
                     C               F
Slipping through my fingers all the time

 F           A#                F
Do I really see what's in her mind
              Am                 Gm
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
A#               F
  She keeps on growing
                     C               F
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Куплет 2:
  A#         A#m
Sleep in our eyes
         F          Dm
Her and me at the breakfast table
A#         A#m
  Barely awake
        F               Am
I let precious time go by
  A#             A#m
Then when she's gone
             F          Dm
There's that odd melancholy feeling
A#                C               F
  And a sense of guilt I can't deny

      A#              C           F       A
What happened to the wonderful adventures
      A#           C                F
The places I had planned for us to go
      A#              C               F
Well some of that we did but most we didn't
      C                F
And why I just don't know

[Припев]

Брейк:
     A#               C                   F      A
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
     A#               C               F
And save it from the funny tricks of time
                     A#   C F ->
Slipping through my finge-e-ers

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Кода:
   A#         A#m
Schoolbag in hand
            F          Dm
She leaves home in the early morning
A#            A#m
  Waving goodbye
        F               Am
With an absent-minded smile...
