One Slip

Eb Gm(add4)

1. A restless eye across a weary room

Eb Fsus4

A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin

The music played and played as we whirled without end

F Ab(add9)

No hint, no word her honour to defend

Eb Gm(add4)

2. I will, I will she sighed to my request

And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test

Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire,

I lead the way to the funeral pyre

And without a thought of the consequence,

I gave into my decadence

R: One slip, and down the hole we fall

Bb(add9) Gm(add9)

It seems to take no time at all

A momentary lapse of reason, that binds a life for life

Bb(add9)

A small regret, you won't forget,

Gm(add9)

there'll be no sleep in here tonight.

3. Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love?

Or was it the hand of fate,

that seemed to fit just like a glove?

The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown

The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone

R: One slip, and down the hole we fall.

It seems to take no time at all

A momentary lapse of reason, that binds life to a life

The one regret you will never forget,

there'll be no sleep in here tonight
