[Verse]
                  E          
They sat together in the park
Abm                           
■   As the evening sky be dark
D                                    
She looked at him and he felt a spark
Dbm7                       C                 
Tingle to his bones it was then he felt alone
    E                     A       
And wished that he'd gone straight
E               Bsus4           E   
Watch out for a simple twist of fate
     E                            
They walked along by the old canal
    Abm                        
Was so confused I remember well
               Abm          
Stopped into a strange hotel
       A            Amaj7  A
With a neon burning bright ■
Amaj7       C                
He felt the heat of the night
   E              A            
It hit him like a freight train
E             B      Bsus4    E   
Moving with a simple twist of fate


[Chorus]
                      E             
A saxophone someplace far off played
Abm                  B         
She is walking under the arcade
                         B           
The light bust through a beatup shade
A                     
Where he was waking up
              C                
She dropped a coin into the cup
     E                A   
Of a blind man at the gate
E              B      Bsus4    E   
Forgot about a simple twist of fate

[Verse]
                   E            
He woke up and the room was bare
          B               
He didn't see her anywhere
                        B          
He told himself that he didn't care
           A               
Pushed the window open wide
     A                  
Felt an emptiness inside
            E              A     
To which he just could not relate
E               Bsus4           E   
Brought on by a simple twist of fate


[Chorus]
E                              
He hears a ticking of the clock
    Abm                                 
And walks along with a parrot that talks
E7                                       
■  Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
          A                A7
Where the sailors all come in
                          C    
Maybe she'll pick him out again
   E                A   
Oh how long must he wait
E                   Bsus4           E   
One more time for a simple twist of fate

[Verse]
E                        
People tell me it's a sin
B                               
To know and feel too much within
                    B          
I still believe she was my twin
A                       C                     
But God I lost the ring she was born in spring
E                  A   
But I was born too late
E               Bsus4               
Blame it on the simple twist of fate
