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

🎸 Interlude:

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
