[Verse 1]
E
They sat together in the park
Emaj7
As the evening sky grew dark.
E7
She looked at him and he felt a spark
Asus2
Tingle to his bones.
Am9
‘Twas then he felt alone
E Emaj7 Asus2 A6/9 Asus2
And wished that he’d gone straight
E Asus2 E
And watched out for that simple twist of fate.
Asus2 E Asus2
[Verse 2]
E
They walked along by the old canal.
Emaj7
A little confused, I remember well,
E7 NC Aadd9
And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burning bright.
Am9 E Emaj7 Asus2 A6/9 Asus2
He felt the heat of that night hit him like a freight train
E Asus2 E
Moving with a simple twist of fate.
Asus2 E Asus2 E Aadd9
[Verse 3]
E
A saxophone someplace far off played
Emaj7
As she was walking on by the arcade
E7
And the light bust through a beat up shade
Asus2
Where he was waking up.
Am9 E Emaj7 Asus2 A6/9 Asus2
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
E Asus2 E
And forgot about a simple twist of fate.
Asus2 E Asus2
[Verse 4]
E
He woke up; the room was bare.
Emaj7
He didn’t see her anywhere.
E7 Aadd9
He told himself he just didn’t care; pushed the window open wide;
Am9 E Emaj7 Asus2 A6/9 Asus2
Felt that emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
E Asus2 E
Brought on by a simple twist of fate.
[Verse 5]
E
He hears the ticking of the clocks
Emaj7
And walks along the city blocks.
E7
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks
Aadd9
Where the sailors all come in.
Am9 E Emaj7 Asus2 A6/9 Asus2
Perhaps she’ll pick him out again, but how long must he wait
E Asus2 E
One more time for that simple twist of fate.
[Verse 6]
E
Some people tell me it’s a sin
Emaj7
To know and feel too much within.
E7 Aadd9
I always felt she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
Am9 E Emaj7 Asus2 A6/9 Asus2
She was born in spring, but I was born too late.
E Asus2 E
I blame it on a simple twist of fate.
[Outro]
E Asus2 E
Blame it on a simple twist of fate.
Emaj7 Asus2 A6/9 Asus2
she was born too late
E Asus2 E
and I blame it on a simple twist of fate
