Eb                            Gm  
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                       Ab  
No hint, no word her honour to defend  
 
Eb                                Gm  
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  
 
C                          Eb7M/Bb  
One slip, and down the hole we fall  
   Bb                  Gm  
It seems to take no time at all  
  C                            Eb7M/Bb  
A momentary lapse of reason, that binds a life for life  
    Bb                               Gm  
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  
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  
C                           Eb7M/Bb  
One slip, and down the hole we fall.  
   Bb                  Gm  
It seems to take no time at all  
  C                            Eb7M/Bb  
A momentary lapse of reason, that binds life to a life  
    Bb                                   Gm  
The one regret you will never forget, there'll be no sleep in here tonight
