ONE SLIP
ROXETTE  -  TOURISM  (1990)

Eb (x43121@3)                          Gm(add4)
A restless eye across a weary room
Eb (x43121@3)                                     Fsus4A (113311@1)glazed look and I was on the road to ruin
    C (x32010@1)                                            Eb6 (xx15xx@4)EbThe (x43121@3)music played and played as we whirled without end
F (133211@1)                     Ab(add9)
No hint, no word her honour to defend

Eb (x43121@3)                              Gm(add4)
I will, I will she sighed to my request
                 Eb (x43121@3)                                           Fsus4 (113311@1)name="chord_133211@1">F Fsus4And (113311@1)then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test
     C (x32010@1)                                     EbThen (x43121@3)drowned in desire, our souls on fire, I lead the way to the funeral pyre
        FAnd (133211@1)without a thought of the consequence, I gave into my decadence

C(add9) (x32030@1)                        Ebmaj7/Bb
One slip, and down the hole we fall
   Bb(add9) (135211@6)                Gm(add9)
It seems to take no time at all
  C(add9) (x32030@1)                          Ebmaj7/Bb
A momentary lapse of reason, that binds a life for life
    Bb(add9) (135211@6)                             Gm(add9)
A small regret, you won't forget, there'll be no sleep in here tonight.

Eb (x43121@3)                                     Gm(add4)
Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love?
              Eb (x43121@3)                                            Fsus4 (113311@1)F (133211@1)Fsus4Or (113311@1)was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a glove?
    C (x32010@1)                                       EbThe (x43121@3)moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown
    FThe (133211@1)year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone
C(add9) (x32030@1)                        Ebmaj7/Bb
One slip, and down the hole we fall.
   Bb(add9) (135211@6)                Gm(add9)
It seems to take no time at all
  C(add9) (x32030@1)                          Ebmaj7/Bb
A momentary lapse of reason, that binds life to a life
    Bb(add9) (135211@6)                                 Gm(add9)
The one regret you will never forget, there'll be no sleep in here tonight
