[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

[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
