Simple Twist Of Fate

TUNING: E B E G# B E 
 
E5 
They sat together in the park 
E5/Eb 
As the evening sky grew dark 
E5/D 
She looked at him and he felt a spark 
C#7/E 
Tingle to his bones 
Am 
‘Twas then he felt alone 
E5 E5/Eb Esus4 
And wished that he‘d gone straight 
E(2) Esus2/A E5 
And watched out for a simple twist of fate 
 
They walked along the old canal 
A little confused, I remember well 
And stopped into a strange hotel 
With the neon burning bright 
He felt the heat of the night 
Hit him like a freight 
Train moving with a simple twist of fate 
 
A saxaphone someplace far off played 
As she was walking down by the arcade 
As the light burst through a beat up shade 
Where he was waking 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 his 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 
Were the saliors all come in 
Maybe she‘ll pick him out again 
How long must he wait? 
One more time for his simple twist of fate 
 
People tell me its 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
