Slipping Through My Fingers Chords by Abba

_ _ _ _ _ School _ bag in [Bbm] hand, [F] she leaves home in the [Am] early [Bb] morning _
Waving [Bbm] goodbye _ with an [F] absent [Am]-minded _ smile _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ I watch [Bbm] her go _ [F] with a search of that [Am] well-known [Bb] sadness
And I have [C] to sit down for [F] a while _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] The feeling that [C] I'm losing her [F] _ forever
_ [A] _ _ _
[Bb] And without her [C] _ entering [F] the world _ _ _ _
[Bb] I'm glad when _ [C] I can share [F] her _ _ _ [C] with that funny little [F] _ girl _ _ _
Slipping [Bb] through my fingers [F] all the time
I try [Am] to capture [Gm] every meaning _
_ _ [Bb] The [F] feeling in it
Slipping through [C] my fingers [F] all the time
Do [Bb] I really see what's [F] in her mind?
Each [Am] time I think I'm [Gm] close to knowing _ _
_ [Bb] She [F] keeps on going
Slipping [C] through my fingers [F] all the _ _ _ time
_ _ [Bb] _ Sleep in our [Bbm] eyes, [F] her and me
At the [Am] breakfast _ [Bb] table _ _
Barely [Bbm] awake, [F] I [F] let precious time [Am] go _ by _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ Dead when [Bbm] she's gone, [F] there's that _ _ _ unmelancholy [Bb] feeling
And this [C] sense of guilt I [F] can't deny _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] What happened to [C] the wonderful _
[F] _ adventure?
_ [A] _ _ _
[Bb] The places [C] I had _ _ [F] florists to go _ _ _ _
[Bb] Well, some of [C] that we did
But [F] most we didn't
[C] And why?
[F] I just don't _ know
_ Slipping [Bb] through my fingers [F] all the time
I try [Am] to capture [Gm] every _ _ meaning
[Bb] The [F] feeling in it
Slipping [C] through my fingers all [F] the time
Do [Bb] I really see what's [F] in her mind?
Each time [Am] I think I'm [Gm] close to knowing _ _
_ [Bb] She [F] keeps on going
Slipping [C] through my fingers [F] all the time _
[Bb] Sometimes I wish [C] I could [F] freeze the picture
_ [A] _ _ _
[Bb] And save it from [C] the _ nitricks [F] of [Am] time
Slipping [Bb] through my [F] fingers _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
[F] _ _ _ [C] Slipping through my fingers [F] all the _ _ time _ _ _
[Bb] _ School bag
[Bbm] _ She [F] leaves home
In [Am] the air _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [Bbm] Waving goodbye
[F] With an avid-minded [Am] smile
