Slipping through my fingers
By Benny Andersson & Bjorn Ulvaeus
Bb Bbm
Schoolbag in hand
F Am
She leaves home in the early morning
Bb Bbm
Waving goodbye
F Am
With an absent-minded smile
Bb Bbm
I watch her go
F Am
With a surge of that well-known sadness
Bb C F
And I have to sit down for a while
Pre-Chorus:
Bb
The feeling that Iʼm
C F A
losing her forever
Bb
And without really
C F A
entering her world
Bb
Iʼm glad whenever
C F
I can share her laughter
C F
That funny little girl
Chorus:
Bb F
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Am Gm
I try to capture every minute
Bb F
The feeling in it
C F
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Bb F
Do I really see whatʼs in her mind
Am Gm
Each time I think Iʼm close to knowing
Bb F
She keeps on growing
C F
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Verse:
Bb Bbm
Sleep in our eyes
F Am
Her and me at the breakfast table
Bb Bbm
Barely awake
F Am
I let precious time go by
Bb Bbm
Then when sheʼs gone
F Am
Thereʼs that odd melancholy feeling
Bb C F
And a sense of guilt I canʼt deny
Pre-Chorus:
Bb C F A
What happened to the wonderful adventures
Bb C F A
The places I had planned for us to go
(slipping through my fingers all the time)
Bb C F
Well some of that we did, But most we didnʼt
C F
And why I just donʼt know
Chorus:
Bb F
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Am Gm
I try to capture every minute
Bb F
The feeling in it
C F
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Bb F
Do I really see whatʼs in her mind
Am Gm
Each time I think Iʼm close to knowing
Bb F
She keeps on growing
C F
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Bridge:
Bb C F A
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
Bb C F
And save it from the funny tricks of time
C
Slipping through my fingers
F Bb F Am
Gm Bb F C
F Bb F Am
Gm Bb F
C F
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Outro:
Bb Bbm
Schoolbag in hand
F Am
She leaves home in the early morning
Bb Bbm
Waving goodbye
F Am
With an absent-minded smile
