[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 Atingle to his bones
Am ’Twas then he felt alone and Ewished that he’d gone Astraight
And Ewatched out for a A/Bsimple twist of Efate
[Verse] 2
E They walked along by the old canal
Emaj7 A little confused, I remember well
E7 And stopped into a strange hotel with a Aneon burnin’ bright
Am He felt the heat of the night Ehit him like a Afreight train
EMoving with a A/Bsimple twist of Efate

[Verse] 3
E A saxophone someplace far off played
Emaj7 As she was walkin’ on by the arcade
As the E7light bust through a beat-up shade where Ahe was wakin’ up,
She dropped a Amcoin into the D9cup of a Eblind man at the Agate
EAnd forgot about a sA/Bimple twist of Efate
[Verse] 4
E He woke up, the room was bare
Emaj7 He didn’t see her anywhere
E7 He told himself he didn’t care,A pushed the window open wide
Felt an Amemptiness inD9side to which he Ejust could not reAlate
E Brought on by a A/Bsimple twist of Efate
[Verse] 5
E He hears the ticking of the clocks
Emaj7 And walks along with a parrot that talks
E7 Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the Asailors all come in
Maybe he’ll Ampick her out aD9gain, how Elong must he Await
EOne more time for a A/Bsimple twist of fatEe
[Verse] 6
E People tell me it’s a sin
Emaj7 To know and feel too much within
E7 I still believe she was my twin, Abut I lost the ring
AmShe was born in D9spring, but EI was born too Alate
E Blame it on a A/Bsimple twist of fatEe
