[Intro]

[Verse 1]

They sat together in the park

As the evening sky grew dark,

She looked at him and he felt a spark

tingle to his bones.

'Twas then he felt alone

G D C

and wished that he'd gone straight

G D G

And watched out for a simple twist of fate.

[Verse 2]

They walked along by the old canal

A little confused, I remember well

And stopped into a strange hotel

with a neon burnin' bright.

He felt the heat of the night

G D C

hit him like a freight train

G D G

Moving with a simple twist of fate.

[Verse 3]

A saxophone someplace far off played

As she was walkin' by the arcade.

As the light bust through a beat-up shade

where he was wakin' up,

She dropped a coin into the cup

G D C

of a blind man at the gate

G D G

And forgot about a simple twist of fate.

[Verse 4]

He woke up, the room was bare

He didn't see her anywhere.

He told himself he didn't care,

pushed the window open wide,

Felt an emptiness inside

G D C

to which he just could not relate

G D G

Brought on by a simple twist of fate.

[Verse 5]

He hears the ticking of the clocks

And walks along with a parrot that talks,

Hunts her down by the waterfront docks

where the sailers all come in.

Maybe she'll pick him out again,

G D C

how long must he wait

G D G

Once more for a simple twist of fate.

[Verse 6]

People tell me it's a sin

To know and feel too much within.

I still believe she was my twin,

but I lost the ring.

She was born in spring,

G D C

but I was born too late

G D G

Blame it on a simple twist of fate.
