[F#] [B]
They sat together in the park as the evening sky grew dark
She looked at him he found a [E] spark
tingle to his bones
[Em] Twas then he felt alone
And [B] wished that [E] he'd gone astray
[F#] And watched out for a simple twist of [B] fate
They walked down by the old canal
But a little confused I remember well
And then they stopped in a strange hotel with [E] the neon [C#m] burning [E]
bright
[Em] He felt the heat of night
[B] Hit him like a [E]
freight [F#] train
With a simple twist [B] of fate
Saxophone someplace nearby played
She was walking on by the arcade
As a light burst through a beat-up shade
[E] He was waking up
She [Em] dropped a coin into a cup
[B] Of a blind man at the [E] gate
[F#] And forgot about a simple [B] twist of fate

[B]
woke up and the room was bare
He didn't see her anywhere
He told himself he didn't care
He [E] pushed the window open wide
He [Em] felt an emptiness inside
To [B] which he just could [E] not relate
[F#] Brought on by a simple twist [B] of fate
He hears the ticking of the clocks
Small waves whisper to the rocks
He hunts her down by the waterfront docks
[E] Where the sailors all come in
[Em] Perhaps he'll see her once again
[B] How long must [E] he wait?
[F#] He comes for a simple [B] twist of fate
People tell me it's a crime
To feel too much at any one time
All it cost me was a dime
[E] But the bells refused to ring
[Em] He was born in spring
[B] But I was [E] born today
[F#] Blame it on a simple [B] twist of fate
