Song: Slipping through my fingers  Artist: ABBA

F                  Fm                     C               C7
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
F                 Fm             C                   Em
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
F               Fm         C                 C7
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
      F                  Gsus4    G    Csus4 C
And I just have to sit down for a while
      F                    G               C     E          F                  G               C
The feeling that I'm losing her forever      and without really entering her world
     F                   G                    C                Gsus4 G     Csus4 C
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter that funny  little girl

                        F                        C               Em               Dm            F       C
Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute the feeling in it
                             Gsus4-G        C
Slipping through my fingers all the time
                F                      C                       Em                    Dm
Do I really see what's in her mind each time I think I'm close to knowing
       F            C                                       Gsus4-G       Csus4 C
She keeps on growing slipping through my fingers all the time






F                Fm                C            C7
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
F          Fm           C                      Em
Barely awake, I let precious time go by
F                       Fm                    C             C7
Then when she's gone there's that odd melancholic feeling
          F          Gsus4    G    Csus4 C
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
      F                    G                        C     E       F                  G               C
What happened to the wonderful adventures   The places I had planned for us to go
         F                   G                    C                Gsus4 G     Csus4 C
Well, some of that we did but most we didn't And why I just dont know

                        F                        C               Em               Dm            F       C
Slipping through my fingers all the time I try to capture every minute the feeling in it
                             Gsus4-G        C
Slipping through my fingers all the time
                F                      C                       Em                    Dm
Do I really see what's in her mind each time I think I'm close to knowing
       F            C                                       Gsus4-G        Csus4 C
She keeps on growing slipping through my fingers all the time

        F                      G                        C     E 
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
      F                      G                  C                                   Gsus4
And save it from the funny tricks of time Slipping through my fingers...

Solo:  F   C  Em  Dm  (F)  C Gsus4-G   C   F   C  Em  Dm  (F)  C

                              Gsus4-G        Csus4 C
slipping  through my fingers all the time

F                  Fm                     C               C7
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
F                 Fm             C                   Em
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
