Intro : E  Emaj7  E7  A  Am  E  A  E  B  E

E                                                   
They sat together in the park,
Emaj7                                                  
As the evening sky grew dark.
E7                                                 
She looked at him and he felt a spark, 
A
tingle to his bones. 
Am                                               
Twas then he felt alone and 
E                      A
wished that he'd gone straight.
E                       B                 E
And watched out, for a simple twist of fate.

E
They walked along by the old canal.
Emaj7
A little confused, I remember well.
E7
And stopped into a strange hotel, 
A
with a neon burnin' bright.
Am
He felt the heat of the night, 
E               A         
hit him like a freight train.
E              B                 E
Moving with a simple twist of fate.

E     
A saxophone someplace far off played.
Emaj7
As she was walkin' on by the arcade.
E7
As the light bust through a beat up shade 
A
where he was wakin' up.
Am
She dropped a coin into the cup, 
E                      A
of a blind man at the gate.
E                    B                 E
And forgot about his simple twist of fate.

E
He woke up, the room was bare.
Emaj7
He didn't see her anywhere.
E7
He told himself he didn't care, 
A
pushed the window open wide.
Am
Felt an emptiness inside,
E                          A
to which he just could not relate.
E                B                 E
Brought on by a simple twist of fate.

E
He hears the ticking of the clocks.
Emaj7
And walks along with a parrot that talks.
E7
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks,
A
where the sailers all come in.
Am
Maybe she'll pick him out again. 
E                A
How long must he wait ?
E                B                 E
Once more for a simple twist of fate.

E
People tell me its a sin,
Emaj7
to know and feel too much within.
E7
I still believe she was my twin, 
A
but I lost the ring.
Am
She was born in spring, 
E                  A
but I was born too late.
E             B                  E
Blame it on a simple twist of fate.
