Slipping Through My Fingers chords by ABBA |
Easy Version
| G Gm |
| Schoolbag in hand |
| D |
| She leaves home |
| F#m |
| In the early morning |
| G Gm |
| Waving goodbye |
| D F#m |
| With an absent minded smile |
| G Gm |
| I watch her go |
| D |
| With a surge of that |
| F#m |
| Well known sadness |
| G A D |
| And I have to sit down for a while |
| The feeling that I'm |
| A/C# D F# |
| Losing her forever |
| G |
| And without really |
| A D D/F# |
| Entering her world |
| G A/C# |
| I'm glad whenever I can share |
| D Asus4 |
| Her laughter that funny |
| Dsus4 D |
| Little girl |
| G |
| Slipping through my fingers |
| D |
| All the time |
| F#m Em |
| I try to capture every minute |
| G D |
| The feeling in it |
| Asus4 |
| Slipping through my fingers |
| A D |
| All the time |
| G D |
| Do I really see what's in her mind |
| F#m |
| Each time I think |
| Em |
| I'm close to knowing |
| G D |
| She keeps on growing |
| Asus4 |
| Slipping through my fingers |
| A D |
| All the time |
| G Gm |
| Sleep in our eyes |
| D F#m |
| Her and me at the breakfast table |
| G Gm |
| Barely awake |
| D F#m |
| I let precious time go by |
| G Gm |
| Then when she's gone |
| D |
| There's that odd |
| F#m |
| Melancholy feeling |
| G A D |
| And a sense of guilt I can't deny |
| G |
| What happened to the |
| A/C# D F# |
| Wonderful adventures |
| G A |
| The places I had planned |
| D D/F# |
| For us to go |
| G A/C# |
| Well some of that we did |
| D |
| But most we didn't |
| Asus4 Dsus4 D |
| And why I just don't know |
| G |
| Slipping through my fingers |
| D |
| All the time |
| F#m Em |
| I try to capture every minute |
| G D |
| The feeling in it |
| Asus4 |
| Slipping through my fingers |
| A D |
| All the time |
| G D |
| Do I really see what's in her mind |
| F#m |
| Each time I think |
| Em |
| I'm close to knowing |
| G D |
| She keeps on growing |
| Asus4 |
| Slipping through my fingers |
| A D |
| All the time |
| G A |
| Sometimes I wish that I could |
| D F# |
| Freeze the picture |
| G A |
| And save it from the funny |
| D |
| Tricks of time |
| D/F# G A D |
| Slipping through my fingers |
