[Verse 1]
F#
They sat together in the park
F#maj7
As the evening sky grew dark
F#7
She looked at him and he felt a spark
B
Tingle to his bones
Bm
'Twas then he felt alone
F# C# B
And wished that he'd gone straight
F# C# F#
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
[Verse 2]
F#
They walked along by the old canal
F#maj7
D# little confused, I remember well
F#7
And stopped into a strange hotel
B
With a neon burning bright
Bm
He felt the heat of the night
F# C# B
Hit him like a freight train
F# C# F#
Moving with a simple twist of fate
[Verse 3]
F#
D# saxophone someplace far off played
F#maj7
As she was walking on by the arcade
F#7 B
As the light bust through a beat-up shade
B
Where he was waking up
Bm
She dropped a coin into the cup
F# C# B
Of a blind man at the gate
F# C# F#
And forgot about his simple twist of fate

[Verse 4]
F#
He woke up, the room was bare
F#maj7
He didn't see her anywhere
F#7
He told himself he didn't care
B
Pushed the window open wide
Bm
Felt an emptiness inside
F# C# B
To which he just could not relate
F# C# F#
Brought on by a simple twist of fate
[Verse 5]
F#
He hears the ticking of the clocks
F#maj7
And walks along with a parrot that talks
F#7
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
B
Where the sailors all come in
Bm
Maybe she'll pick him out again
F# C# B
How long must he wait
F# C# F#
One more time for a simple twist of fate
[Verse 6]
F#
People tell me its a sin
F#maj7
To know and feel too much within
F#7
I still believe she was my twin
B
But I lost the ring
Bm
She was born in spring
F# C# B
But I was born too late
F# C# F#
Blame it on a simple twist of fate
