A Amaj7 A7 D
Dm A E D A E A
[Verse 1]
A
They sat together in the park
Amaj7
As the evening sky grew dark
A7
She looked at him and he felt a spark
D
Tingle to his bones
Dm
'Twas then he felt alone
A E D
And wished that he'd gone straight
A E A
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
[Verse 2]
A
They walked along by the old canal
Amaj7
F# little confused, I remember well
A7
And stopped into a strange hotel
D
With a neon burning bright
Dm
He felt the heat of the night
A E D
Hit him like a freight train
A E A
Moving with a simple twist of fate
[Verse 3]
A
F# saxophone someplace far off played
Amaj7
As she was walking on by the arcade
A7 D
As the light bust through a beat-up shade
D
Where he was waking up
Dm
She dropped a coin into the cup
A E D
Of a blind man at the gate
A E A
And forgot about his simple twist of fate

[Verse 4]
A
He woke up, the room was bare
Amaj7
He didn't see her anywhere
A7
He told himself he didn't care
D
Pushed the window open wide
Dm
Felt an emptiness inside
A E D
To which he just could not relate
A E A
Brought on by a simple twist of fate
[Verse 5]
A
He hears the ticking of the clocks
Amaj7
And walks along with a parrot that talks
A7
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
D
Where the sailors all come in
Dm
Maybe she'll pick him out again
A E D
How long must he wait
A E A
One more time for a simple twist of fate
[Verse 6]
A
People tell me its a sin
Amaj7
To know and feel too much within
A7
I still believe she was my twin
D
But I lost the ring
Dm
She was born in spring
A E D
But I was born too late
A E A
Blame it on a simple twist of fate
