Slipping Through My Fingers chords by Declan Mckenna

• Capo on 2nd

🎸 Verse 1:
C#              C#m               A                   Dm
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
C#           C#m          C#m           Dm
 Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
C#           C#m         A                         Dm
I watch her Go with a surge of that well-known sadness
C#            Gadd9       A        Gadd11  A
  And I have to sit down for a while

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
     C#                Gadd9      A
The feeling that I'm losing her forever
      C#              Gadd9          A    D
And without really entering her world
      C#            Gadd9          A
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
      A               A   Gadd11  A
That funny little girl

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

🎸 Verse 2:
 C#            C#m           A           Dm
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
C#         C#m           C#m               D
  Barely awake, I let precious time Go by
C#                  C#m                 A        Dm
  Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling
C#                  Gadd9          A   Gadd11  A
  And a sense of guilt I can't deny

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
         C#            Gadd9       A       Dm
What happened to the wonderful adventures
      C#            Gadd9            A   D
The places I had planned for us to go?

(Slipping through my fingers all the time)
           C#          Gadd9            A
Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't
    Gadd9               A   Gadd11  A
And why, I just don't know

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

🎸 Bridge:
    C#                            Gadd9     A
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
     C#                Bm/C#b          A     D
And save it from the funny tricks of time
                      Gadd9
Slipping through my fingers

 C#              C#m              A                 D
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
C#             C#m           C#m           Dm
  Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
