[Verse] 1
E
 They sat together in the park
Emaj7
 As the evening sky grew dark
E7                                     A
 She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones
 Am                            E                     A
  ’Twas then he felt alone and wished that he’d gone straight
    E                 A/B             E
And watched out for a simple twist of fate


[Verse] 2
E
 They walked along by the old canal
Emaj7
 A little confused, I remember well
E7                                       A
 And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burnin’ bright
Am                              E              A
  He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight  train
E             A/B             E
Moving with a simple twist of fate

[Verse] 3
E
 A saxophone someplace far off played
Emaj7
 As she was walkin’ on by the arcade
       E7                                       A
As the light bust through a beat-up shade where he was wakin’ up,
              Am            D9       E                A
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
E                   A/B            E
And forgot about a simple twist of fate


[Verse] 4
E
 He woke up, the room was bare
Emaj7
 He didn’t see her anywhere
E7                              A
 He told himself he didn’t care, pushed the window open wide
        Am          D9               E                A
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
E                A/B             E
 Brought on by a simple twist of fate


[Verse] 5
E
 He hears the ticking of the clocks
Emaj7
 And walks along with a parrot that talks
E7                                                A
 Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all come in
            Am            D9        E            A
Maybe he’ll pick her out again, how long must he wait
E                   A/B                E
One more time for a simple twist of fate


[Verse] 6
E
 People tell me it’s a sin
Emaj7
 To know and feel too much within
E7                                A
 I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring
Am              D9          E              A
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
E              A/B                E
 Blame it on a simple twist of fate
