G
They sat together in the park
Bm
As the evening sky grew dark,
G7
She looked at him and he felt a spark
C
tingle to his bones.
Am
'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.

G
They walked along by the old canal
Bm
A little confused, I remember well
G7
And stopped into a strange hotel
C
with a neon burnin' bright.
Am
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.

G
A saxophone someplace far off played
Bm
As she was walkin' by the arcade.
G7
As the light bust through a beat-up shade
C
where he was wakin' up,
Am
She dropped a coin into the cup
G              D      C
of a blind man at the gate
G                  D               G
And forgot about a simple twist of fate.

G
He woke up, the room was bare
Bm
He didn't see her anywhere.
G7
He told himself he didn't care,
C
pushed the window open wide,
Am
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.

G
He hears the ticking of the clocks
Bm
And walks along with a parrot that talks,
G7
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
C
where the sailers all come in.
Am
Maybe she'll pick him out again,
    G    D       C
how long must he wait
G               D               G
Once more for a simple twist of fate.

G
People tell me it's a sin
Bm
To know and feel too much within.
G7
I still believe she was my twin,
C
but I lost the ring.
Am
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.
