One Slip Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]A[Gm][C][Gm]
[G][Gm]
[C][Gm][Eb][Gm][Eb]
[Gm][Eb][Gm][Eb]
[Gm]rest[Eb]less [Gm]eye a[Eb]cross a weary room[Gm]
[Eb]A glazed look and I was on
the road to ru[F]in
The mu[C]sic played and played
as we whirled [Eb]without end
[F]No hint, no word her honour[Ab] to defend
[Eb]

[Verse 2]
I will, I will she sighed to my re[Gm]quest
And then she [Eb]tossed her mane while
my resolve was put to the [F]test
[C]Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire
I [Eb]lead the way to the funeral pyre
And [F]without a thought of the consequence

[Verse 3]
I gave in to my decadence
[C]One slip, and down the
[Bb]hole [Eb]we fall
[Bb]It seems to take no time [Gm]at all[G]
A [C]momentary lapse of reason
That [Bb]binds a l[Eb]ife for life
[Bb]A sm[Eb]all r[Bb]egret,
you won't forget,
There'll [Gm]be no[G] sleep in here tonight

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 4]
Was it love, [Eb]or was
it the idea of being in love?
[Gm]Or was it the [Eb]hand of fate,
that seemed to fit just like [F]a glove?
[C]The moment slipped by and soon
the seeds were [Eb]sown
The year [F]grew late and neither one
[C]wanted to re[F]main alone
[C]

[Verse 5]
One slip, and down the hole we [Bb]fall[Eb][Bb]
[Eb]It s[Bb]eems to take no time at al[Gm]l[G]
A [C]momentary lapse of reason
That [Bb]binds [Eb]a life for life
[Bb]A sm[Eb]all r[Bb]egret,
you will never forget,
There'll [Gm]be no[G] sleep in here tonight
