Slipping Through My Fingers - Meryl Streep - Lyrics chords
Start Jamming...
[G] School [Gm] bag in hand, [D] she leaves home in the [F#m] early [G] morning
Waving goodbye [D] with an absent [F#m]-minded smile
[G] I [Gm] watch her go [D] with a surge of that well-known [G] sadness
And [A] I have to sit down [E] for a [D] while
[G] The feeling [A] that I'm losing [D] her forever
[F#] [G] And without [A] really entering [D] her world
I'm [G]
glad [A] whenever I can [D] share her laughter
[A] That funny little [D] girl
[G] Slipping through my fingers [D] all the time
I [F#m] try to capture [Em] every minute
[G] The [D] feeling in it
[A] Slipping through my fingers [D] all the time
[G] Do I really see what's [D] in her mind?
Each [F#m] time I think I'm [Em] close to knowing
[G] She [D] keeps on going
Slipping through my [A] fingers [D] all the time
[G] Sleep [Gm] in our eyes, [D] her and me at the breakfast [G] table
[Gm] Barely awake, [D] I let precious [F#m] time go by
[G]
Then [Gm] when she's gone, [D] there's that old melancholy [G] feeling
And the [A] sense of guilt [G] I can't [D] deny
[G] What happened [A] to those [D] wonderful adventures?
[F#] [G] The places [A] I had planned for [D] us to go
[G] Well, some of [A] that we did, [D] but most we [A] didn't
And why, [G] I just don't [D] know
[G] Slipping through my fingers [D] all the time
I [F#m] try to capture [Em] every minute
[G] The [D] feeling in it
Slipping through my [A] fingers [D] all the time
[G] Do I really see what's [D] in her mind?
Each [F#m] time I think I'm [Em] close to knowing
She [D] keeps on going
Slipping through my [A] fingers [D] all the time
[G] Sometimes I [A] wish that I could [D] freeze the picture
[F#] And [G] save it [A] from the funny [D] tricks of time
[G] Slipping through my [D] fingers all [G] the [D] [F#m] [Em]
[G] [D] [A] [D] [G]
[D] [F#m] [Em]
[G] [D] [A] [D]
[G] time
School [D] bag in hand, she leaves home in the early [G] morning
[Gm] Waving goodbye [D] with an absent-minded smile
