[Verse 1]
C
They sat together in the park
Em7
As the evening sky grew dark
A7sus2
She looked at him and he felt a spark
F
Tingle to his bones
Fm
'Twas then he felt alone
 C                Em7         F
And wished that he'd gone straight
 C                Em7           C
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
 
 
[Verse 2]
C
They walked alone by the old canal
Em7
A little confused, I remember well
A7sus2
And stopped into a strange hotel
 F
With a neon burning bright
 Fm
He felt the heat of the night
 C       Em7   F
Hit him like a freight train
 C              Em7          C
Moving with a simple twist of fate
 
 
[Verse 3]
C
A saxophone someplace far-off played
Em7
As she was walking on by the arcade
A7sus2
As the light bust through a beat-up shade
F
Where he was wakin' up
Fm
She dropped a coin into the cup
C          Em7       F
Of a blind man at the gate
C                    Em7           C
And forgot about a simple twist of fate

[Verse 4]
C
He woke up, the room was bare
Em7
He didn't see her anywhere
A7sus2
He told himself he didn't care
F
Pushed the window open wide
Fm
Felt an emptiness inside
C           Em7          F
To which he just could not relate
C           Em7          C
Brought on by a simple twist of fate
 
 
[Verse 5]
C
He hears the ticking of the clocks
Em7
And walks along with a parrot that talks
A7sus2
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
F
Where the sailors all come in
Fm
Maybe she'll pick him out again
C       Em7        F
How long must he wait?
C       Em7            C
One more time, for a simple twist of fate
 
 
[Verse 6]
C
People tell me it's a sin
Em7
To know and feel too much within
A7sus2
I still believe she was my twin
F
But I lost the ring
Fm
She was born in spring
C        Em7       F
But I was born too late
C        Em7       C
Blame it on a simple twist of fate
