Slipping through my fingers

Bb Abba F Vote rhythm
≣≣
1. [Bb] Schoolbag in [Bbm] hand, she leaves [F] home in the [Am] early morning
[Bb] Waving good-[Bbm] bye with an [F] absent-minded [Am] smile
[Bb] I watch her [Bm] go with a [F] surge of that [Am] well-known sadness
[Bb] And I have to [C] sit down for a [F] while
The [Bb] feeling that I'm [C] losing her for-[F] ever [Am]
And [Bb] without really [C] entering her [F] world
[Bb] I'm glad whenever [C] I can share her [F] laughter
That [C] funny little [F] girl
 
Chorus: [Bb] Slipping through my [C] fingers all the [F] time
I try to [Am] capture every [Gm] minute
The feeling in [F] it
Slipping through my [C] fingers all the [F] time
Do I really see [Bb] what's in her [F] mind
Each time I [Am] think I'm close to [Gm] knowing
She keeps on [F] growing
Slipping through my [C] fingers all the [F] time
 
2. [Bb] Sleep in our [Bbm] eyes, her and [F] me at the [Am] breakfast table
[Bb] Barely a-[Bbm] wake, I let [F] precious time go [Am] by
[Bb] Then when she's [Bbm] gone there's that [F] odd melancholy [Am] feeling
[Bb] And a sense of [C] guilt I can't de-[F] ny
What [Bb] happened to the [C] wonderful ad-[F] ventures
The [Bb] places I [C] had planned for us to [F] go
(Slipping through my fingers all the time)
[Bb] Well, some of that we [C] did but most we [F] didn't
[C] And why I just don't [F] know
 
Chorus: [Bb] Slipping through my [C] fingers all the [F] time
I try to [Am] capture every [Gm] minute
The feeling in [F] it
Slipping through my [C] fingers all the [F] time
Do I really see [Bb] what's in her [F] mind
Each time I [Am] think I'm close to [Gm] knowing
She keeps on [F] growing
Slipping through my [C] fingers all the [F] time
 
Bridge: [Bb] Sometimes I wish that I [C] could freeze the [F] picture [Am]
[Bb] And save it from the [C] funny tricks of [F] time
[Bb] Slipping through my [C] fingers
 
[Bb] Slipping through my [C] fingers all the time
[Bb] Schoolbag in[Bbm] hand [F] she leaves home in the [Am] early morning
[Bb] Waving good-[Bbm] bye with an [F] absent-minded [Am] smile
