Simple Twist Of Fate

G G They sat together in the park Bm As the evening sky grew dark, G7 She looked at him and he felt a spark C tingle to his bones. Am '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. G They walked along by the old canal Bm A little confused, I remember well G7 And stopped into a strange hotel C with a neon burnin' bright. Am 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. G A saxophone someplace far off played Bm As she was walkin' by the arcade. G7 As the light bust through a beat-up shade C where he was wakin' up, Am 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. G He woke up, the room was bare Bm He didn't see her anywhere. G7 He told himself he didn't care, C pushed the window open wide, Am 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. G He hears the ticking of the clocks Bm And walks along with a parrot that talks, G7 Hunts her down by the waterfront docks C where the sailers all come in. Am 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. G People tell me it's a sin Bm To know and feel too much within. G7 I still believe she was my twin, C but I lost the ring. Am 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.
