Intro
D Dmaj7 D7 G
Gm D A G D A D
[Verse 1]
D
They sat together in the park
Dmaj7
As the evening sky grew dark
D7
She looked at him and he felt a spark
G
Tingle to his bones
Gm
'Twas then he felt alone
D A G
And wished that he'd gone straight
D A D
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
[Verse 2]
D
They walked along by the old canal
Dmaj7
B little confused, I remember well
D7
And stopped into a strange hotel
G
With a neon burning bright
Gm
He felt the heat of the night
D A G
Hit him like a freight train
D A D
Moving with a simple twist of fate
[Verse 3]
D
B saxophone someplace far off played
Dmaj7
As she was walking on by the arcade
D7 G
As the light bust through a beat-up shade
G
Where he was waking up
Gm
She dropped a coin into the cup
D A G
Of a blind man at the gate
D A D
And forgot about his simple twist of fate

[Verse 4]
D
He woke up, the room was bare
Dmaj7
He didn't see her anywhere
D7
He told himself he didn't care
G
Pushed the window open wide
Gm
Felt an emptiness inside
D A G
To which he just could not relate
D A D
Brought on by a simple twist of fate
[Verse 5]
D
He hears the ticking of the clocks
Dmaj7
And walks along with a parrot that talks
D7
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
G
Where the sailors all come in
Gm
Maybe she'll pick him out again
D A G
How long must he wait
D A D
One more time for a simple twist of fate
[Verse 6]
D
People tell me its a sin
Dmaj7
To know and feel too much within
D7
I still believe she was my twin
G
But I lost the ring
Gm
She was born in spring
D A G
But I was born too late
D A D
Blame it on a simple twist of fate
