Slipping Through My Fingers

G            Gm             D
I missed the turn on the street
         F#m             G          Gm           D
Where you lived and now I'm crying here in the car
G            Gm            D           F#m             G
I know these houses and yards like the back of my hand so
G         Gm       D
Why do I feel so lost?


[Chorus]
                          G                 D
You're slipping through my fingers all the time
         F#m           Em
I try to capture every minute
     G        D                         A              D
The feeling in it, slipping through my fingers all the time


[Verse 2]
G          Gm         D
I wanna scream but I don't
       F#m                      G       Gm          D
I just sit here watching school busses stop at the light
                               G
I wish I left this city in my memory
Gm                                D
Why did I come back, what did I think I'd see?
F#m                          G
Trapped inside a picture I don't wanna be
Gm             D
Was this ever mine?


[Chorus]
                            G               D
You're slipping through my fingers all the time
        F#m            Em
I try to capture every minute
N/C         D                          D/A              D
The feeling in it, slipping through my fingers all the time


[Bridge]
G              Gm                    D
Flowers in the cracks in the sidewalk
             F#m                          G
Leading to a rock in the ground with your name
              Gm                       D
Say a couple words but I can't hear myself talk
       N/C                G
Someone small in the grave
              Gm
Yeah, I think this is a mistake
D                          F#m
I don't wanna think of you this way
              G              Gm
I can feel my memories melting
              D            N/C                   G
Like someone's pouring gasoline on a birthday cake
       Gm                  D
Who's living in my old bedroom?
         F#m              G
Who's got locker number 142?
            Gm                        D
Why does it feel like I'm getting run through?
           N/C                            G
Every time I come through, everything we did
             Gm                   D
Does it even matter, was it even real?
            F#m
Did it even happen?
               G                         Gm
Tell me why it feels like I'm stuck in a bad dream
               N/C
Tell me it's a bad dream


[Chorus]
                            G               D
You're slipping through my fingers all the time
         F#m           Em
I try to capture every minute
     G      D                           D/A               Bm
The feeling in it, slipping through my fingers all the time
