[Verse 1]
G
They sat together in the park
Gmaj7
As the evening sky grew dark
G7
She looked at him and he felt a spark
C
Tingle to his bones
Cm
'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
Gmaj7
E little confused, I remember well
G7
And stopped into a strange hotel
C
With a neon burning bright
Cm
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
E saxophone someplace far off played
Gmaj7
As she was walking on by the arcade
G7 C
As the light bust through a beat-up shade
C
Where he was waking up
Cm
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
Gmaj7
He didn't see her anywhere
G7
He told himself he didn't care
C
Pushed the window open wide
Cm
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
Gmaj7
And walks along with a parrot that talks
G7
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
C
Where the sailors all come in
Cm
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
Gmaj7
To know and feel too much within
G7
I still believe she was my twin
C
But I lost the ring
Cm
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
