Em B F# E B F# B
[Verse 1]
B
They sat together in the park
Bmaj7
As the evening sky grew dark
B7
She looked at him and he felt a spark
E
Tingle to his bones
Em
'Twas then he felt alone
B F# E
And wished that he'd gone straight
B F# B
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
[Verse 2]
B
They walked along by the old canal
Bmaj7
G# little confused, I remember well
B7
And stopped into a strange hotel
E
With a neon burning bright
Em
He felt the heat of the night
B F# E
Hit him like a freight train
B F# B
Moving with a simple twist of fate
[Verse 3]
B
G# saxophone someplace far off played
Bmaj7
As she was walking on by the arcade
B7 E
As the light bust through a beat-up shade
E
Where he was waking up
Em
She dropped a coin into the cup
B F# E
Of a blind man at the gate
B F# B
And forgot about his simple twist of fate

[Verse 4]
B
He woke up, the room was bare
Bmaj7
He didn't see her anywhere
B7
He told himself he didn't care
E
Pushed the window open wide
Em
Felt an emptiness inside
B F# E
To which he just could not relate
B F# B
Brought on by a simple twist of fate
[Verse 5]
B
He hears the ticking of the clocks
Bmaj7
And walks along with a parrot that talks
B7
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
E
Where the sailors all come in
Em
Maybe she'll pick him out again
B F# E
How long must he wait
B F# B
One more time for a simple twist of fate
[Verse 6]
B
People tell me its a sin
Bmaj7
To know and feel too much within
B7
I still believe she was my twin
E
But I lost the ring
Em
She was born in spring
B F# E
But I was born too late
B F# B
Blame it on a simple twist of fate
