ABBA - Slipping Through My Fingers (Lyrics) Chords

_ School bag in [Bbm] hand, [F] she leaves home in [E] the early _
[Bb] morning
_ [Bbm] Waving goodbye with an absent [Am]-minded _ smile
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ I watch [Bbm] her go with [F] a search of [Am] that well-known [Bb] sadness
_ And I [C] have to sit down for a [F] while _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] The feeling that [C] I'm losing [F] her forever _
[A] _ _ _ _ [Bb] And without [C] really entering [F] the world _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] I'm glad when [Am] I [C] can [F] share her life _ _
_ [C] with a new little [F] _ _ girl
_ _ _ [Bb] Swinging through my fingers [F] all the time
I'm [Am] trying to capture [Gm] every minute
_ _ [Bb] The [F] feeling in it
Sinking [C] through my fingers all [F] the time
Do I [Bb] really see what's in [F] their mind?
Each [Am] time I think I'm close [Gm] to nowhere
_ _ _ She [F] keeps on going
Sinking through [C] my fingers all the [F] _ _ time
_ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ Sleeping [Bbm] our eyes, her [F] and me at the breakfast [Am] _
[Bb] table
_ _ Barely [Bbm] awake, I [F] let precious time [Am] go by _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ There when [Bbm] she's gone
_ [F] There's that fond _ _ melancholy feeling
[Bb] And this sense [C] of guilt [F] I can't deny _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] What happened to [C] the wonderful _ _ [F] _ adventure? _
[A] _ _ _ [Bb] The places I [C] had planned for us [F] to go _
Some of them were so good, [Bb] well, some of them [C] we did
But most [F] we didn't, _
[C] _ _ I [F] just don't know _
_ _ Swinging [Bb] through my fingers all [F] the time
I'm trying [Am] to capture [Gm] every minute
_ _ _ [Bb] The [F] feeling in it
Sinking [C] through my fingers all [F] the time
Do I [Bb] really see what's in [F] their mind?
Each time [Am] I think I'm close [Gm] to nowhere
_ _ _ She [F] keeps on going
Sinking [C] through my fingers all [F] the time
_ [Bb] Sometimes I wish [C] I could [F] freeze the picture _
[A] _ _ _ [Bb] And save it from [C] the _ matrix
[F] But _ [Am] I'm sleeping [Bb] through my fingers
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ Through [C] my fingers [F] all the _ _ _ _ time
_ [Bb] _ Stool [Bbm] back in hand, she [F] leaves time in [Am] the air
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[Bbm] Waving goodbye _ [F] with an _ _ abandoned [Am] smile _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
