    • Verse 1
    Schoolbag 
    in 
    hand, 

    she 
    leaves 
    home 
    in 
    the 
    early 
    morn
    ing 

    Waving 
    good
    bye 

    with 
    an 
    absent-minded 
    smile 

    I 
    watch 
    her 
    go 

    with 
    a 
    surge 
    of 
    that 
    well- 
    known 
    sadness 

    And 
    I 
    have 
    to 
    sit 
    down 
    for 
    a 
    while 

    Pre-chorus 1
    The 
    feeling 
    that 
    I'm 
    losing 
    her 
    fore
    ver 

    And 
    without 
    really 
    entering 
    her 
    world 

    I'm 
    glad 
    whenever 
    I 
    can 
    share 
    her 
    laugh
    ter 

    That 
    funny 
    little 
    girl 

    Chorus 1
    Slipping 
    through 
    my 
    fingers 
    all 
    the 
    time 

    I 
    try 
    to 
    cap
    ture 
    every 
    mi
    nute 

    The 
    feeling 
    in 
    it 

    Slipping 
    through 
    my 
    fingers 
    all 
    the 
    time 

    Do 
    I 
    real
    ly 
    see 
    what's 
    in 
    her 
    mind 

    Each 
    time 
    I 
    think 
    I'm 
    close 
    to 
    know
    ing 

    She 
    keeps 
    on 
    growing 

    Slipping 
    through 
    my 
    fingers 
    all 
    the 
    time 

    Verse 2
    Sleep 
    in 
    our 
    eyes, 

    her 
    and 
    me 
    at 
    the 
    breakfast 
    table 

    Barely 
    a
    wake 

    I 
    let 
    precious 
    time 
    go 
    by 

    Then 
    when 
    she's 
    gone, 

    there's 
    that 
    odd 
    melan
    choly 
    feeling 

    And 
    a 
    sense 
    of 
    guilt 
    I 
    can't 
    de
    ny 

    Pre-chorus 2
    What 
    happened 
    to 
    the 
    wonderful 
    ad
    ventures 

    The 
    places 
    I 
    had 
    planned 
    for 
    us 
    to 
    go 

    (Slipping 
    through 
    my 
    fingers 
    all...) 

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

    And 
    why, 
    I 
    just 
    don't 
    know 

    Chorus 2
    Slipping 
    through 
    my 
    fingers 
    all 
    the 
    time 

    I

    time 

    Bridge 1
    Some 
    times 
    I 
    wish 

    that 
    I 
    could 
    freeze 
    the 
    picture 

    And 
    save 
    it 
    from 
    the 
    funny 
    tricks 
    of 
    time 

    Slipping

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
