Eb                            Gmadd11 
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                       Abadd9  
No hint, no word her honour to defend

Eb                                Gmadd11 
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

Cadd9                            Ebmaj7/Bb
One slip, and down the hole we fall

   Bbadd9                    Gmadd9  
It seems to take no time at all

  Cadd9                              Ebmaj7/Bb
A momentary lapse of reason, that binds a life for life

    Bbadd9                                 Gmadd9  
A small regret, you won't forget, there'll be no sleep in here tonight.

Eb                                       Gmadd11 
Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love?

              Eb                                              Fsus4  F  Fsus4
Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a glove?

    C                                         Eb
The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown

    F
The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone

Cadd9                            Ebmaj7/Bb
One slip, and down the hole we fall.

   Bbadd9                    Gmadd9  
It seems to take no time at all

  Cadd9                              Ebmaj7/Bb
A momentary lapse of reason, that binds life to a life

    Bbadd9                                     Gmadd9  
The one regret you will never forget, there'll be no sleep in here tonight
