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

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