Eb Gm(add4)
1. 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(add9)
No hint, no word her honour to defend
Eb Gm(add4)
2. 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(add9) Ebmaj7/B
R: One slip, and down the hole we fall
Bb(add9) Gm(add9)
It seems to take no time at all
C(add9) Ebmaj7/B
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.
Eb Gm/D Gm Eb Gm/D Gm
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
Eb Gm/D Gm Eb Gm/D Gm
