E
 They sat together in the park

Emaj7
 As the evening sky grew dark

E7                                     A
 She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones

 Am                            E                     A
  ’Twas then he felt alone and wished that he’d gone straight

    E                 A/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                                       A
 And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burnin’ bright

Am                              E              A
  He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight  train

E             A/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                                       A
As the light bust through a beat-up shade where he was wakin’ up,

              Am            D9       E                A
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate

E                   A/B            E
And forgot about a simple twist of fate

E
 He woke up, the room was bare

Emaj7
 He didn’t see her anywhere

E7                              A
 He told himself he didn’t care, pushed the window open wide

        Am          D9               E                A
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate

E                A/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                                                A
 Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all come in

            Am            D9        E            A
Maybe he’ll pick her out again, how long must he wait

E                   A/B                E
One more time for a simple twist of fate

E
 People tell me it’s a sin

Emaj7
 To know and feel too much within

E7                                A
 I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring

Am              D9          E              A
She was born in spring, but I was born too late

E              A/B                E
 Blame it on a simple twist of fate
