ONE SLIP
ROXETTE  -  TOURISM  (1990)
                            Eb  Gm(add4)
A restless eye across a weary room
EbA glazed look and I was on the road to ruFsus4in
The Cmusic played and played as we whirled without eEb6ndEb  
FNo hint, no word her honAb(add9)our to defend
                                Eb  Gm(add4)
I will, I will she sighed to my request
And then she tossEbed her mane while my resolve was put to the tesFsus4tF  Fsus4  
Then Cdrowned in desire, our souls on fire, I Eblead the way to the funeral pyre
And withFout a thought of the consequence, I gave into my decadence
                          C(add9)  Ebmaj7/Bb  
One slip, and down the hole we fall
                     Bb(add9)  Gm(add9)
It seems to take no time at all
                              C(add9)  Ebmaj7/Bb  
A momentary lapse of reason, that binds a life for life
                                   Bb(add9)  Gm(add9)
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(add4)
Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love?
Or was it the Ebhand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a gloFsus4ve?F  Fsus4  
The Cmoment slipped by and soon the seeds were Ebsown
The Fyear grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone
                          C(add9)  Ebmaj7/Bb  
One slip, and down the hole we fall.
                     Bb(add9)  Gm(add9)
It seems to take no time at all
                              C(add9)  Ebmaj7/Bb  
A momentary lapse of reason, that binds life to a life
                                       Bb(add9)  Gm(add9)
The one regret you will never forget, there'll be no sleep in here tonight
