Slipping Through My Fingers Acordes

[Verse 1]
C            Cm               G           Bm
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
C      Cm              G             Bm
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
C           Cm        G             Bm
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
C             D              G
And I have to sit down for a while
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C                    D         G       B
The feeling that I'm losing her forever
C                  D            G      B
And without really entering her world
C                 D           G
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
D                 G
That funny little girl
 
[Chorus]
G                   C               G
Slipping through my fingers all the time
         Bm            Am
I try to capture every minute
C           G
The feeling in it
G                   D               G
Slipping through my fingers all the time
            C                 G
Do I really see what's in her mind?
            Bm                 Am
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
    C        G
She keeps on growing
                    D               G
Slipping through my fingers all the time
 
[Verse 2]
C            Cm            G         Bm
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
C     Cm            G                Bm
Barely awake, I let precious time go by
C               Cm                 G         Bm
Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling
      C            D         G
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C                   D         G           B
What happened to the wonderful adventures
C                D              G       B
The places I had planned for us to go?
(Slipping through my fingers all the time)
C                     D               G
Well, some of that we did but most we didn't
D                     G
And why? I just don't know
 
[Chorus]
G                   C               G
Slipping through my fingers all the time
         Bm           Am
I try to capture every minute
C           G
The feeling in it
                    D               G
Slipping through my fingers all the time
            C                G
Do I really see what's in her mind?
            Bm                 Am
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
C            G
She keeps on growing
                    D               G
Slipping through my fingers all the time
 
[Outro]
C                     D                  G
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
    C                Cm6             G       B
And save it from the funny tricks of time
                      Bm7/D
Slipping through my fingers
 
| C   | Cm6 | G   | B   | Am C | Cm  | Em  | D   |
| C   | Cm  | G   | Bm  | C    | D   | G   | G   |
 
C            Cm               G                   B
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
C      Cm              Em              Bm
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
