[Verse 1]
F
They sat together in the park
Fmaj7
As the evening sky grew dark
F7
She looked at him and he felt a spark
A#
Tingle to his bones
A#m
'Twas then he felt alone
F C A#
And wished that he'd gone straight
F C F
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
[Verse 2]
F
They walked along by the old canal
Fmaj7
D little confused, I remember well
F7
And stopped into a strange hotel
A#
With a neon burning bright
A#m
He felt the heat of the night
F C A#
Hit him like a freight train
F C F
Moving with a simple twist of fate
[Verse 3]
F
D saxophone someplace far off played
Fmaj7
As she was walking on by the arcade
F7 A#
As the light bust through a beat-up shade
A#
Where he was waking up
A#m
She dropped a coin into the cup
F C A#
Of a blind man at the gate
F C F
And forgot about his simple twist of fate

[Verse 4]
F
He woke up, the room was bare
Fmaj7
He didn't see her anywhere
F7
He told himself he didn't care
A#
Pushed the window open wide
A#m
Felt an emptiness inside
F C A#
To which he just could not relate
F C F
Brought on by a simple twist of fate
[Verse 5]
F
He hears the ticking of the clocks
Fmaj7
And walks along with a parrot that talks
F7
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
A#
Where the sailors all come in
A#m
Maybe she'll pick him out again
F C A#
How long must he wait
F C F
One more time for a simple twist of fate
[Verse 6]
F
People tell me its a sin
Fmaj7
To know and feel too much within
F7
I still believe she was my twin
A#
But I lost the ring
A#m
She was born in spring
F C A#
But I was born too late
F C F
Blame it on a simple twist of fate
