+ ABBA - Slipping Through My Fingers +

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile I watch her go with a surge of that well known sadness And I have to sit down for a while The feeling that I'm losing her forever And without really entering her world I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter That funny little girl Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time 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 Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't And why, I just don't know Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time Do I really see what's in her mind Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture And save it from the funny tricks of time Slipping through my fingers... Slipping through my fingers all the time Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

And I have to sit down for a while

I'm glad whenever I can share

her laughter

That funny little girl

                    Em7             D
Slipping through my fingers all the time
         A              E
I try to capture every minute

Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table

Barely awake, I let precious time go by
Em              G                  D         Bm7
Then when she’s gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling
E               A7            D
And a sense of guilt I can’t deny
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em                      A7        D        D7
What happened to those wonderful adventures

The places I had planned for us to go
Em                       A7              D
Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't
A                       D
And why, I just don't know
 
[Chorus]
                Em7                 D
Slipping through my fingers all the time
         A              E
I try to capture every minute
E7              D
The feeling in it
                   Em7               D
Slipping through my fingers all the time
             Em7                D
Do I really see what's in her mind?
             A                  E
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
E7            D
She keeps on growing
                    Em7              D
Slipping through my fingers all the time

And save it from the funny tricks of time
