Chords with lyrics

Slipping through my fingers – Abba

Verse1
G minorGm
Schoolbag in hand
	  F# minorF#m
She leaves home in the early morning
G minorGm
Waving goodbye
	F# minorF#m
With an absent-minded smile
G# minorG#m
I watch her go
	F# minorF#m
With a surge of that well-known sadness
D MajorD
And I have to sit down for a while
  F#F#
The feeling that I'm loosing her forever
D MajorD
And without really entering her world
D MajorD
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter, that funny little girl

Chorus:
D MajorD
Slipping through my fingers all the time
     E minorEm
I try to capture every minute
	  D MajorD
The feeling in it
			D MajorD
Slipping through my fingers all the time
		D MajorD
Do I really see what's in her mind
		E minorEm
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
		D MajorD
She keeps on growing
			D MajorD
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Verse2
G minorGm
Sleep in our eyes
	F# minorF#m
Her and me at the breakfast table
G minorGm
Barely awake
F# minorF#m
I let precious time go by
G minorGm
Then when she's gone
		F# minorF#m
There's that odd melancholy feeling
D MajorD
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
	D MajorD
What happened to the wonderful adventures
	D MajorD
The places I had planned for us to go (slipping through my fingers all the time)
A augmentedA
Well some of that we did
		D MajorD
But most we didn't
D MajorD
And why I just don't know

Chorus:
D MajorD
Slipping through my fingers all the time
     E minorEm
I try to capture every minute
	  D MajorD
The feeling in it
			D MajorD
Slipping through my fingers all the time
		D MajorD
Do I really see what's in her mind
		E minorEm
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
		D MajorD
She keeps on growing
			D MajorD
Slipping through my fingers all the time


F# minorF#m
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
D MajorD
And save it from the funny tricks of time
A augmentedA
Slipping through my fingers

G minorGm
Schoolbag in hand
F# minorF#m
She leaves home in the early morning
F# minorF#m
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
