[Verse 1]
C Cmaj7
They sat together in the park as the evening sky grew dark
C7 F
She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones
Fm C G F
It was then he felt alone and wished that he'd gone straight
C G C
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
[Verse 2]
C Cmaj7
They walked along by the old canal, a little confused, I remember well
C7 F
And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burning bright
Fm C G F
He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
C G C
Moving with a simple twist of fate
[Verse 3]
C Cmaj7
A saxophone someplace far off played as she was walking on by the arcade
C7 F
As the light bust through a beat-up shade where he was waking up,
Fm C G F
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
C G C
And forgot about his simple twist of fate

[Verse 4]
C Cmaj7
He woke up, the room was bare, he didn't see her anywhere
C7 F
He told himself he didn't care, pushed the window open wide,
Fm C G F
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
C G C
Brought on by a simple twist of fate
[Verse 5]
C Cmaj7
He hears the ticking of the clocks and walks along with a parrot that talks
C7 F
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all come in
Fm C G F
Maybe she'll pick him out again, how long must he wait
C G C
One more time for a simple twist of fate
[Verse 6]
C Cmaj7
People tell me its a sin to know and feel too much within
C7 F
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring
Fm C G F
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
C G C
Blame it on a simple twist of fate
