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

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