Author And Composer: Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus
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
|

|
Her laughter that funny

|
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
|

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
|

|
All the time
|

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
