Slipping Through My Fingers Chords by ABBA

[Start]

[Verse]
Bb                    F                        Bb     
Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning
                       F            Am   
Waving goodbye with an absentminded smile
Bb                       F                       Bb     
■  I watch her go with a surge of that wellknown sadness
              Csus4 C          F    
And I have to sit   down for a while
Bb                   C          F       Am
The feeling that I'm losing her forever ■ 
Bb                 C            F    
And without really entering her world
    Bb            C               F       
I'm glad whenever 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 what's in her mind
            Am                 Gm      Gm7
Each time I think I'm close to knowing ■  
Gm Gm7          F      
■  She keeps on growing
                    C               F   
Slipping through my fingers all the time


[Verse]
Bb                        F         Am        Bb   
Sleep in our eyes her and me at the breakfast table
               Fsus4 F                Am
Barely awake I let   precious time go by
Bb                           F                          
Then when she's gone there's that odd melancholy feeling
Bb             C             F   
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
Bb                   C         F          Am
What happened to the wonderful adventures ■ 
Bb               C                 F 
The places I had planned for us to go


[Chorus]
     Bb                 C               F     
Well ■  some of that we did but most we didn't
C              F         
And why I just don't know
                    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 what's in her mind
            Am                 Gm     
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
Bb           F      
She keeps on growing
                    C               F   
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Bb                    C                  F       Am
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture ■ 
Bb                   C     F      Am        
And save it from the funny tricks ■  of time
Bb                  F      
Slipping through my fingers


[Solo]
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                           F                 Bb     
Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning
                       F            Am   
Waving goodbye with an absentminded smile
