        They sat together in the park
        Emaj7
        As the evening sky grew dark,
        E7
        She looked at him and he felt a spark
        A                     A'
        tingle to his bones.

        'Twas then he felt alone
            E           B(ii)     A        A'
        and wished that he'd gone straight
            E                 B11             B11' E
        And watched out for a simple twist of      fate.
        
        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
        hit him like a freight train
        Moving with a simple twist of fate.
        
        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
        of a blind man at the gate
        And forgot about a simple twist of fate.
        
        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
        to which he just could not relate
        Brought on by a simple twist of fate.
        
        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,
        how long must he wait
        Once more for a simple twist of fate.
        
        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,
        but I was born too late
        Blame it on a simple twist of fate.
