Slipping Through My Fingers chords by ABBA

Slipping through my fingers – Abba

Verse1
Gm
Schoolbag in hand
	    F#m
She leaves home in the early morning
Gm
Waving goodbye
	F#m
With an absent-minded smile
G#m
I watch her go
	F#m
With a surge of that well-known sadness
D

And I have to sit down for a while
    F#
The feeling that I'm loosing her forever
D
And without really entering her world
D
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter, that funny little girl


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

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


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


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

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