D 
They sat together in the park
F#m 
As the evening sky grew dark,
D7 
She looked at him and he felt a spark 
G 
tingle to his bones.
Gm 
'Twas then he felt alone
D                            
and wished that he'd gone 
G
straight
D                      G/A              
And watched out for a simple  
          D
twist of fate.

D
They walked along by the old canal
F#m
A little confused, I remember well
D7                     
And stopped into a strange hotel 
G
with a neon burnin' bright.
Gm
He felt the heat of the night 
D                     G
hit him like a freight train
D                       G/A    D
Moving with a simple twist of fate.

D
A saxophone someplace far off played
F#m
As she was walkin' by the arcade.
D7
As the light bust through a beat-up shade 
G
where he was wakin' up,
Gm
She dropped a coin into the cup 
D                    G
of a blind man at the gate
D                           G/A    D
And forgot about a simple twist of fate.

D
He woke up, the room was bare
F#m
He didn't see her anywhere.
D7
He told himself he didn't care, 
G
pushed the window open wide,
Gm
Felt an emptiness inside 
D                     G
to which he just could not relate
D                       G/A    D
Brought on by a simple twist of fate.

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

D
People tell me it's a sin
F#m
To know and feel too much within.
D7
I still believe she was my twin, 
G
but I lost the ring.
Gm
She was born in spring, 
D
but I was born 
G
too late
D              G/A
Blame it on a simple 
         D
twist of fate.

D              G/A
Blame it on a simple 
         D
twist of fate.
