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

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