Intro
E Emaj7 E7 A
Am E B A E B E
[Verse 1]
E
They sat together in the park
Emaj7
As the evening sky grew dark
E7
She looked at him and he felt a spark
A
Tingle to his bones
Am
'Twas then he felt alone
E B A
And wished that he'd gone straight
E B E
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
[Verse 2]
E
They walked along by the old canal
Emaj7
C# little confused, I remember well
E7
And stopped into a strange hotel
A
With a neon burning bright
Am
He felt the heat of the night
E B A
Hit him like a freight train
E B E
Moving with a simple twist of fate
[Verse 3]
E
C# saxophone someplace far off played
Emaj7
As she was walking on by the arcade
E7 A
As the light bust through a beat-up shade
A
Where he was waking up
Am
She dropped a coin into the cup
E B A
Of a blind man at the gate
E B E
And forgot about his simple twist of fate

[Verse 4]
E
He woke up, the room was bare
Emaj7
He didn't see her anywhere
E7
He told himself he didn't care
A
Pushed the window open wide
Am
Felt an emptiness inside
E B A
To which he just could not relate
E B E
Brought on by a simple twist of fate
[Verse 5]
E
He hears the ticking of the clocks
Emaj7
And walks along with a parrot that talks
E7
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
A
Where the sailors all come in
Am
Maybe she'll pick him out again
E B A
How long must he wait
E B E
One more time for a simple twist of fate
[Verse 6]
E
People tell me its a sin
Emaj7
To know and feel too much within
E7
I still believe she was my twin
A
But I lost the ring
Am
She was born in spring
E B A
But I was born too late
E B E
Blame it on a simple twist of fate
