[Verse 1]
C Cm G Bm
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
C Cm G Bm
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
C Cm G Bm
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
C D G
And I have to sit down for a while

[Pre-Chorus]
C D G B
The feeling that I'm losing her forever
C D G B
While never really entering her world
C D G
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
D G
That funny little girl

[Chorus]
G C G
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Bm Am
I try to capture every minute
C G
The feeling in it
G D G
Slipping through my fingers all the time
C G
Do I really see what's in her mind?
Bm Am
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
C G
She keeps on growing
D G
Slipping through my fingers all the time

[Verse 2]
C Cm G Bm
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
C Cm G Bm
Barely awake, I let precious time go by
C Cm G Bm
Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling
C D G
And a sense of guilt I can't deny

[Pre-Chorus]
C D G B
What happened to the wonderful adventures
C D G B
The places I had planned for us to go?

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

[Chorus]
G C G
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Bm Am
I try to capture every minute
C G
The feeling in it
D G
Slipping through my fingers all the time
