Chords
[Verse 1]
BbSchoolbag in hand,Bbm she leavesF home in the early morning
Bb Waving goodBbmbye with an Fabsentminded Amsmile
BbI watch her goBbm with a Fsurge of that Amwell known sadness
Bb And I have to sitC down for a while
[Pre-Chorus]
F The Bbfeeling that I'm Closing her foreFver A
And Bbwithout really Centering her world
F I'm Bbglad whenever IC can share her laughFter
That Cfunny little girl
[Chorus]
F Slipping through my Bbfingers all the time F
I try to capAmture every miGmnute
The Bbfeeling inF it
Slipping through my Cfingers all the time F
Do I really Bbsee what's in her mind F
Each time I thinkAm I'm close to knowGming
She Bbkeeps on Fgrowing
Slipping through my Cfingers all the time F
[Verse 2]
BbSleep in our eyes,Bbm her and meF at the breakfast table
