🎸 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

🎸 Interlude: 
Gadd9  A   D   C#m  C#m  C#m  A 
                          
C#  A   D   C#  A   Gadd11  A 
                        

🎸 Outro: 
 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
