[Verse 1]
C#
They sat together in the park
C#maj7
As the evening sky grew dark
C#7
She looked at him and he felt a spark
F#
Tingle to his bones
F#m
'Twas then he felt alone
C# G# F#
And wished that he'd gone straight
C# G# C#
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
[Verse 2]
C#
They walked along by the old canal
C#maj7
A# little confused, I remember well
C#7
And stopped into a strange hotel
F#
With a neon burning bright
F#m
He felt the heat of the night
C# G# F#
Hit him like a freight train
C# G# C#
Moving with a simple twist of fate
[Verse 3]
C#
A# saxophone someplace far off played
C#maj7
As she was walking on by the arcade
C#7 F#
As the light bust through a beat-up shade
F#
Where he was waking up
F#m
She dropped a coin into the cup
C# G# F#
Of a blind man at the gate
C# G# C#
And forgot about his simple twist of fate

[Verse 4]
C#
He woke up, the room was bare
C#maj7
He didn't see her anywhere
C#7
He told himself he didn't care
F#
Pushed the window open wide
F#m
Felt an emptiness inside
C# G# F#
To which he just could not relate
C# G# C#
Brought on by a simple twist of fate
[Verse 5]
C#
He hears the ticking of the clocks
C#maj7
And walks along with a parrot that talks
C#7
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
F#
Where the sailors all come in
F#m
Maybe she'll pick him out again
C# G# F#
How long must he wait
C# G# C#
One more time for a simple twist of fate
[Verse 6]
C#
People tell me its a sin
C#maj7
To know and feel too much within
C#7
I still believe she was my twin
F#
But I lost the ring
F#m
She was born in spring
C# G# F#
But I was born too late
C# G# C#
Blame it on a simple twist of fate
