One Slip

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