Verse
1
E
They sat together in the park
Emaj7
As the evening sky grew dark
E7 A
She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones
Am E A
’Twas then he felt alone and wished that he’d gone straight
E A/B E
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
Verse
2
E
They walked along by the old canal
Emaj7
A little confused, I remember well
E7 A
And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burnin’ bright
Am E A
He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
E A/B E
Moving with a simple twist of fate

Verse
3
E
A saxophone someplace far off played
Emaj7
As she was walkin’ on by the arcade
E7 A
As the light bust through a beat-up shade where he was wakin’ up,
Am D9 E A
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
E A/B E
And forgot about a simple twist of fate
Verse
4
E
He woke up, the room was bare
Emaj7
He didn’t see her anywhere
E7 A
He told himself he didn’t care, pushed the window open wide
Am D9 E A
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
E A/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 A
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all come in
Am D9 E A
Maybe he’ll pick her out again, how long must he wait
E A/B E
One more time for a simple twist of fate
Verse
6
E
People tell me it’s a sin
Emaj7
To know and feel too much within
E7 A
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring
Am D9 E A
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
E A/B E
Blame it on a simple twist of fate
