[Verse 1]
[C]They sat together in the park
[Em]As the evening sky grew dark
[C]She looked at him and he felt a spark
[F]Tingle to his bones
[Fm]'Twas then he felt alone
And [C]wished that [G]he'd gone [F]straight
[C]And watched out
[G]for a simple twist of [C]fate

[Verse 2]
[C]They walked along by the old canal
[Em]A little confused, I remember well
[C]And stopped into a strange hotel
With a [F]neon burnin' bright
He [Fm]felt the heat of the night
Hit [C]him [G]like a [F]freight train
[C]Moving with a sim[G]ple twist of fat[C]e

[Verse 3]
[C]A saxophone someplace far-off played
[Em]As she was walkin' on by the arcade
As [C]the light bust through a beat-up shade
Where [F]he was waking up
She dropped [Fm]a coin into the cup
[C]Of a blind [G]man at the [F]gate
[C]And forgot about a s[G]imple twist of fate[C]

[Verse 4]
[C]He woke up, the room was bare
[Em]He didn't see her anywhere
[C]He told himself he didn't care
Pushed the win[F]dow open wide
Felt [Fm]an emptiness inside
To which he [C]just could [G]not [F]relate
[C]Brought on by a s[G]imple twist of fate[C]

[Verse 5]
[C]He hears the ticking of the clocks
[Em]And walks along with a parrot that talks
[C]Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
Where the [F]sailors all come in
May[Fm]be she'll pick him out again
How [C]long [G]must he [F]wait?
[C]One more time, for [G]a simple twist of f[C]ate

[Verse 6]
[C]People tell me it's a sin
[Em]To know and feel too much within
[C]I still believe she was my twin
[F]But I lost the ring
[Fm]She was born in spring
But [C]I was b[G]orn too l[F]ate
[C]Blame it on a s[G]imple twist of fate[C]
