Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][F#m][D][Am][D][G]
[Gm][D][A][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
They sat together [D]in the [F#m]park
As the evening sky grew [F#dim]dark
[Am]She look[F#dim]ed at him and he felt a sp[Am]ark
[G]Tingle to his bones
It [D]was [Gm]then he felt alone

[Verse 2]
And [D]he wished that [A]he'd gone [G]straight
[D]And watched out for a sim[A]ple
twist of fate
[D]

[Verse 3]
They walked along by the
old [F#m]canal
A little con[D]fused, I remember well
[C]And [Am]stopped into[D] a strange hotel
With [G]a neon burnin' bright
He [Gm]felt the heat of the [C]night
[Gm]Hit

[Verse 4]
[D]him [A]like a [G]freight [D]train
Moving with a [A]simple twist of fate

[Verse 5]
[D]A saxophone someplace
far off [F#m]played
As she was walkin' by the arcade
[D]As the[F#dim] light bus[D]t through
a beat- [Am]up s[C]hade
[D]Where [G]she was wakin' up
She [Gm]dropped a coin into the cup

[Verse 6]
Of a [D]blind [A]man at the [G]gate
[D]And forgot about a simple[A] twist of fate
[D]

[Interlude 1]
[Am][D]
[G][Gm][D][A][G][D][A]
[D]

[Verse 7]
He woke up, the [D]room was bare
[F#m]He didn't se[D]e her anywhe[C]re
He told him[D]self he didn't care
Pushed the window [G]open wide
Felt an [Gm]emptiness inside

[Verse 8]
To which he [D]just [A]could not [G]re late
[D]Brought on by a sim[A]ple twist of fate
[D]

[Verse 9]
He hears the ticking of the clocks
[F#m]Walks along with a parrot
that talk[F#dim]s
Hunts her down by the waterfront
dock[D]s
[G]Where the junkies are all in
Maybe [Gm]she'll pick him out again

[Verse 10]
No matter how [D]long [A]must [D]he [G]wait
[D]The very last time for a
[A]simple twist of fate
[D]

[Verse 11]
People tell me it's a sin
[F#m]To know and feel t[D]oo much within[Am]
[D]I still believe she was my twin
But I [G]lost the ring
[D]She [Gm]was born in spring
But [D]I

[Verse 12]
was [A]born too [G]late
[D]Blame it on a s[A]imple twist of fate

[Outro 1]
