Guitar chords with lyrics
Slipping through my fingers - Abba
Verse1
G+G 
G minorGm
Schoolbag in hand
D MajorD 
F# minorF#m
She leaves home in the early morning
G+G G minorGm
Waving goodbye
D MajorD F# minorF#m
With an absent-minded smile
G+G 
G# minorG#m
I watch her go
D MajorD F# minorF#m
With a surge of that well-known sadness
G+G 
A augmentedA 
Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
And I have to sit down for a while
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD 
F#F#
The feeling that I'm loosing her forever
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
And without really entering her world
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter, that funny little girl
Chorus:
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
Slipping through my fingers all the time
F# minorF#m 
E minorEm
I try to capture every minute
D MajorD
The feeling in it
A augmentedA Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Slipping through my fingers all the time
G+G D MajorD
Do I really see what's in her mind
F# minorF#m E minorEm
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
D MajorD
She keeps on growing
A augmentedA Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Verse2
G+G G minorGm
Sleep in our eyes
D MajorD F# minorF#m
Her and me at the breakfast table
G+G G minorGm
Barely awake
D MajorD F# minorF#m
I let precious time go by
G+G G minorGm
Then when she's gone
D MajorD F# minorF#m
There's that odd melancholy feeling
G+G A augmentedA Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
What happened to the wonderful adventures
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
The places I had planned for us to go (slipping through my fingers all the time)
G+G A augmentedA
Well some of that we did
D MajorD
But most we didn't
A augmentedA Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
And why I just don't know
Chorus:
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
Slipping through my fingers all the time
F# minorF#m E minorEm
I try to capture every minute
D MajorD
The feeling in it
A augmentedA Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Slipping through my fingers all the time
G+G D MajorD
Do I really see what's in her mind
F# minorF#m E minorEm
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
D MajorD
She keeps on growing
A augmentedA Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Slipping through my fingers all the time
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD F# minorF#m
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
And save it from the funny tricks of time
G+G A augmentedA
Slipping through my fingers
G+G G minorGm
Schoolbag in hand
D MajorD F# minorF#m
She leaves home in the early morning
G+G G minorGm D MajorD F# minorF#m
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
