ABBA - Slipping Through My Fingers

VERSE
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
I watch her go
E C#m
With a surge of that well-known sadness
A Bsus4 B E
And I have to sit down for a while
A B/D#bass E G#
The feeling that I'm loosing her forever
A B E
And without really entering her world
A B/D#bass E
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
Bsus4 B Esus4 E
That funny little girl

CHORUS
E A6 E
Slipping through my fingers all the time
G#m F#m
I try to capture every minute
B E
The feeling in it
Bsus4 B E
Slipping through my fingers all the time
A6 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
Bsus4 B E
Slipping through my fingers all the time

VERSE
Sleep in our eyes
Her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake
I let precious time go by
Then when she's gone
There's that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt
I can't deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go
slipping through my fingers all the time
Well some of that we did
But most we didn't
And why I just don't know

CHORUS

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#bass A B E
Slipping through my fing ers
