Slipping Through My Fingers

[Primeira Parte]

A             Am/C
Schoolbag in hand
             E          C#m
She leaves home in the early morning
A         Am/C
Waving goodbye
         E             G#m
With an absent-minded smile
A           Am/C
I watch her go
        E              C#m
With a surge of that well-known sadness
A              B               E
And I have to sit down for a while

[Pré-Refrão]

      A              B            E       G#m
The feeling that I'm loosing her forever
    A             B              E
And without really entering her world
     A               B            E
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
       B             E4    E
That funny little girl

[Refrão]

                     A               E
Slipping through my fingers all the time
          G#m           F#m
I try to capture every minute
     B        E
The feeling in it
                     B               E
Slipping through my fingers all the time
           A               E
Do I really see what's in her mind
          G#m                F#m
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
 A            E
She keeps on growing
                       B           E
Slipping through my fingers all the time

[Segunda Parte]

 A            Am/C
Sleep in our eyes
       E                    C#m
Her and me at the breakfast table
A          Am/C
Barely awake
       E                G#m
I let precious time go by
 A              Am/C
Then when she's gone
  E                         C#m
There's that odd melancholy feeling
A               B
And a sense of guilt
           E
I can't deny

[Pré-Refrão]
      A               B              E    G#m
What happened to the wonderful adventures
      A            B                 E
The places I had planned for us to go

(slipping through my fingers all the time)
      A            B
Well some of that we did
             E
But most we didn't
     B                 E
And why I just don't know

[Refrão]

                     A               E
Slipping through my fingers all the time
          G#m         F#m
I try to capture every minute
   B          E
The feeling in it
                     B               E
Slipping through my fingers all the time
           A               E
Do I really see what's in her mind
          G#m                F#m
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
     A         E
She keeps on growing
                       B           E
Slipping through my fingers all the time

[Ponte]

 A                      B               E        G#
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
     A              B               E
And save it from the funny tricks of time
( E/G# )               A   B    E
      Slipping through my fingers
