ONE SLIP
ROXETTE - TOURISM (1990)
Eb MajorEb Gm(add4)
A augmentedA restless eye across a weary room
Eb MajorEb Fsus4Fsus4
A augmentedA glazed look and I was on the road to ruin
C majorC Eb6Eb6 Eb MajorEb
The music played and played as we whirled without end
FF Ab(add9)
No hint, no word her honour to defend
Eb MajorEb Gm(add4)
I will, I will she sighed to my request
Eb MajorEb Fsus4Fsus4 FF Fsus4Fsus4
And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test
C majorC Eb MajorEb
Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire, I lead the way to the funeral pyre
FF
And without 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 augmentedA momentary lapse of reason, that binds a life for life
Bb(add9) Gm(add9)
A augmentedA small regret, you won't forget, there'll be no sleep in here tonight.
Eb MajorEb Gm/D G minorGm Eb MajorEb Gm/D G minorGm
Eb MajorEb Gm(add4)
Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love'
Eb MajorEb Fsus4Fsus4 FF Fsus4Fsus4
Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a glove'
C majorC Eb MajorEb
The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown
FF
The year 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 augmentedA 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
Eb MajorEb Gm/D G minorGm Eb MajorEb Gm/D G minorGm
