Chords with lyrics

• Capo on 2nd

🎸 Verse 1:
C#C#       C# minorC#m        A augmentedA          DmDm
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
C#C#      C# minorC#m     C# minorC#m      DmDm
 Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
C#C#      C# minorC#m     A augmentedA             DmDm
I watch her Go with a surge of that well-known sadness
C#C#      Gadd9Gadd9    A augmentedA    Gadd11 A augmentedA
 And I have to sit down for a while

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
   C#C#        Gadd9Gadd9   A augmentedA
The feeling that I'm losing her forever
   C#C#       Gadd9Gadd9     A augmentedA  D MajorD
And without really entering her world
   C#C#      Gadd9Gadd9     A augmentedA
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
   A augmentedA        A augmentedA  Gadd11 A augmentedA
That funny little girl

🎸 Chorus:
           C#C#        A augmentedA
Slipping through my fingers all the time
     DmDm       C# minorC#m
I try to capture every minute
      A augmentedA
The feeling in it
           A augmentedA        A augmentedA
Slipping through my fingers all the time
       C#C#         A augmentedA
Do I r ally see what's in her mind?
       DmDm         C# minorC#m
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
   C#C#    A augmentedA
Sh? keeps on growing
            A augmentedA       A augmentedA   Gadd11  A augmentedA
Slipping through my fingers all the time

🎸 Verse 2:
 C#C#      C# minorC#m      A augmentedA      DmDm
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
C#C#     C# minorC#m      C# minorC#m        D MajorD
 Barely awake, I let precious time Go by
C#C#         C# minorC#m         A augmentedA    DmDm
 Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling
C#C#         Gadd9Gadd9     A augmentedA  Gadd11 A augmentedA
 And a sense of guilt I can't deny

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
     C#C#      Gadd9Gadd9    A augmentedA    DmDm
What happened to the wonderful adventures
   C#C#      Gadd9Gadd9      A augmentedA  D MajorD
The places I had planned for us to go?

(Slipping through my fingers all the time)
      C#C#     Gadd9Gadd9      A augmentedA
Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't
  Gadd9Gadd9        A augmentedA  Gadd11 A augmentedA
And why, I just don't know

🎸 Chorus:
           C#C#        A augmentedA
Slipping through my fingers all the time
     D MajorD       C# minorC#m
I try to capture every minute
      A augmentedA
The feeling in it
           A augmentedA        A augmentedA
Slipping through my fingers all the time
       C#C#         A augmentedA
Do I r ally see what's in her mind?
       DmDm         C# minorC#m
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
   C#C#    A augmentedA
Sh? keeps on growing
            A augmentedA       A augmentedA   Gadd11  A augmentedA
Slipping through my fingers all the time

🎸 Bridge:
  C#C#              Gadd9Gadd9   A augmentedA
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
   C#C#        Bm/C#b     A augmentedA   D MajorD
And save it from the funny tricks of time
           Gadd9Gadd9
Slipping through my fingers

🎸 Interlude:
Gadd9Gadd9 A augmentedA  D MajorD  C# minorC#m C# minorC#m C# minorC#m A augmentedA

🎸 Outro:
 C#C#       C# minorC#m       A augmentedA         D MajorD
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
C#C#       C# minorC#m      C# minorC#m      DmDm
 Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
