E
They sat together in the park
Emaj7
As the evening sky grew dark
E7
She looked at him, he felt a spark
A
Tingle to his bones
Am
Twas then he felt alone
E           B6        A        Aadd9
And wished that he'd gone straight
E                     B9/11        B11 E
And watched out for a simple twist of  fate

D
They sat together in the park
Dmaj7
As the evening sky grew dark,
D7                                    G
She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones.
Gm                     D           A         G
'Twas then he felt alone and wished that he'd gone straight
D                 A7              D
And watched out for a simple twist of fate.

D
They walked along by the old canal
Dmaj7
A little confused, I remember well
D7                                      G
And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burnin' bright.
Gm                         D           A          G
He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
D           A7              D
Moving with a simple twist of fate.

D
A saxophone someplace far off played
Dmaj7
As she was walkin' by the arcade.
D7                                              G
As the light bust through a beat-up shade where he was wakin' up,
Gm                               D        A        G
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
D                  A7              D
And forgot about a simple twist of fate.

D
He woke up, the room was bare
Dmaj7
He didn't see her anywhere.
D7                                         G
He told himself he didn't care, pushed the window open wide,
Gm                          D            A          G
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
D               A7              D
Brought on by a simple twist of fate.

D
He hears the ticking of the clocks
Dmaj7
And walks along with a parrot that talks,
D7                                               G
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailers all come in.
Gm                               D        A       G
Maybe she'll pick him out again, how long must he wait
D               A7              D
Once more for a simple twist of fate.

D
People tell me it's a sin
Dmaj7
To know and feel too much within.
D7                               G
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
Gm                          D     A        G
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
D             A7              D
Blame it on a simple twist of fate.
