[D] They sat together in the park, [Dmaj7] while the evening sky grew dark
[D7] She looked at him & he felt a spark [G] tingle through his bones
It was [Gm] then he felt alone, and [D] wished that [F#m] he'd gone [G] straight
And [D] watched out for a [A7] Simple Twist of [D] Fate

D Dmaj7        They walked along by the old canal, a little confused, I remember well
D7 G             Stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burning bright
Gm D F#m G He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
D A7 D          Moving with a Simple Twist of Fate

D Dmaj7        A saxaphone someplace faroff played as she was walking by the arcade
D7 G             As the light bust thru a beat-up shade where he was waking up
Gm D F#m G She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
D A7 D          And forgot about a Simple Twist of Fate

D Dmaj7        He woke up, the room was bare, he didn't see her anywhere
D7 G             He told himself he didn't care, pushed the window open wide
Gm D F#m G Felt that emptiness inside, to which he just could not relate
D A7 D          Brought on by a Simple Twist of Fate

D Dmaj7        He hears the ticking of the clock, walks along with a parrot that talks
D7 G             Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all come in
Gm D F#m G Maybe she'll pick him out again, how long must he wait
D A7 D          One more time for a Simple Twist of Fate

D Dmaj7        People tell me it's a sin to know and feel too much within
D7 G             I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring
Gm D F#m G She was born in spring, but I was born too late
D A7 D          Blame it on Simple Twist of Fate
