Slipping Through My Fingers taby ukulele według Declan Mckenna

[Verse 1]

C            Cm               G           Bm

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning

C      Cm              G             Bm

Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

C           Cm        G             Bm

I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness

C             D              G

And I have to sit down for a while

 

[Pre-Chorus]

C                    D         G       B

The feeling that I'm losing her forever

C                  D            G

And without really entering her world

C                 D           G

I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter

D                 G

That funny little girl

 

[Chorus]

G                   C               G

Slipping through my fingers all the time

         Bm            Am

I try to capture every minute

C           G

The feeling in it

G                   D               G

Slipping through my fingers all the time

            C                 G

Do I really see what's in her mind?

            Bm                 Am

Each time I think I'm close to knowing

    C        G

She keeps on growing

                    D               G

Slipping through my fingers all the time

 

[Verse 2]

C            Cm            G         Bm

Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table

C     Cm            G                Bm

Barely awake, I let precious time go by

C               Cm                 G         Bm

Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling

      C            D         G

And a sense of guilt I can't deny

 

[Pre-Chorus]

C                   D         G         B

What happened to the wonderful adventures

C                D              G

The places I had planned for us to go?

(Slipping through my fingers all the time)

C                     D               G

Well, some of that we did but most we didn't

D                     G

And why? I just don't know

 

[Chorus]

G                   C               G

Slipping through my fingers all the time

         Bm           Am

I try to capture every minute

C           G

The feeling in it

                    D               G

Slipping through my fingers all the time

            C                G

Do I really see what's in her mind?

            Bm                 Am

Each time I think I'm close to knowing

C            G

She keeps on growing

                    D               G

Slipping through my fingers all the time

 

C                     D                  G      Bm

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture

    C                D               G

And save it from the funny tricks of time
