One Slip

Eb Gm A restless eye across a weary room Eb Fsus4 A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin C Eb6 Eb The music played and played as we whirled without end F Ab No hint, no word her honour to defend Eb Gm I will, I will she sighed to my request Eb Fsus4 F Fsus4 And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test C Eb Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire, I lead the way to the funeral pyre F And without a thought of the consequence, I gave into my decadence C Eb7M/Bb One slip, and down the hole we fall Bb Gm It seems to take no time at all C Eb7M/Bb A momentary lapse of reason, that binds a life for life Bb Gm A small regret, you won't forget, there'll be no sleep in here tonight. Eb Gm/D Gm Eb Gm/D Gm Eb Gm Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love? Eb Fsus4 F Fsus4 Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a glove? C Eb The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown F The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone C Eb7M/Bb One slip, and down the hole we fall. Bb Gm It seems to take no time at all C Eb7M/Bb A momentary lapse of reason, that binds life to a life Bb Gm The one regret you will never forget, there'll be no sleep in here tonight
