{c: Fits the times}
[G] Schoolbag in [Gm] hand
She [D] leaves home in the [F#m] early morning
[G] Waving good-[Gm]bye
With an [D] absent-minded [F#m] smile
[G] I watch her [Gm] go
With a [D] surge of that well-[F#m]known sadness
[G] And I have to [A] sit down for a [D] while
The [G] feeling that I'm [A] losing her for-[D]ever [F#]
And [G] without really [A] entering her [D] world
I'm [G] glad whenever [A] I can share her [D] laughter,
that [A] funny little [D] girl
Slipping through my [G] fingers all the [D] time
I try to [F#m] capture every min-[Em]ute
The [G] feeling [D] in it
Slipping through my [A] fingers all the [D] time
Do I really [G] see what's in her [D] mind
Each time I [F#m] think I'm close to [Em] knowing
She [G] keeps on [D] growing
Slipping through my [A] fingers all the [D] time
[G] Sleep in our [Gm] eyes
Her and [D] me at the [F#m] breakfast table
[G] Barely a-[Gm]wake
[D] I let precious time go [F#m] by
[G] Then when she's [Gm] gone
There's that [D] odd melan-[F#m]choly feeling
[G] And a sense of [A] guilt I can't [D] deny
{np}
What [G] happened to the [A] wonderful ad-[D]ventures [F#]
The [G] places I had [A] planned for us to [D] go
([D] slipping through my fingers all the time)
[G] Well some of that we [A] did
But most we [D] didn't
And [A] why I just don't [D] know
Slipping through my [G] fingers all the [D] time
I try to [F#m] capture every [Em] minute
The [G] feeling [D] in it
Slipping through my [A] fingers all the [D] time
Do I really [G] see what's in her [D] mind
Each time I [F#m] think I'm close to [Em] knowing
She [G] keeps on [D] growing
Slipping through my [A] fingers all the [D] time
[G] Sometimes I wish that [A] I could freeze the [D] picture [F#]
[G] And save it from the [A] funny tricks of [D] time
[D] Slipping through my [G] fin-[A]gers [D]
[G] [D] [F#m] [Em] [G] [D] [A] [D]
[G] [D] [F#m] [Em] [G] [D]
[D] Slipping through my [A] fingers all the [D] time
[G] Schoolbag in [Gm] hand
She leaves [D] home in the [F#m] early morning
[G] Waving good-[Gm] bye with an [D] absent-minded [F#m] smile
