AbThey sat together in the park
Abmaj7As the evening sky grew dark
Ab7She looked at him and he felt a spark Dbtingle to his bones
Dbm’Twas then he felt alone and Abwished that he’d gone Dbsus2straight
And Abwatched out for a Db/Ebsimple twist of Abfate
AbThey walked along by the old canal
Abmaj7A little confused, I remember well
Ab7And stopped into a strange hotel with a Dbneon burnin’ bright
DbmHe felt the heat of the night Abhit him like a Dbsus2freight train
AbMoving with a Db/Ebsimple twist of Abfate

AbA saxophone someplace far off played
Abmaj7As she was walkin’ on by the arcade
As the Ab7light bust through a beat-up shade where Dbhe was wakin’ up,
She dropped a Dbmcoin into the Gb9cup of a Abblind man at the Dbsus2gate
AbAnd forgot about a Db/Ebsimple twist of Abfate
AbHe woke up, the room was bare
Abmaj7He didn’t see her anywhere
Ab7He told himself he didn’t care, Dbpushed the window open wide
Felt an Dbmemptiness Gb9inside to which he Abjust could not Dbsus2relate
AbBrought on by a Db/Ebsimple twist of Abfate
AbHe hears the ticking of the clocks
Abmaj7And walks along with a parrot that talks
Ab7Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the Dbsailors all come in
Maybe he’ll Dbmpick her out Gb9again, how Ablong must he Dbsus2wait
AbOne more time for a Db/Ebsimple twist of fatAbe
AbPeople tell me it’s a sin
Abmaj7To know and feel too much within
Ab7I still believe she was my twin, Dbbut I lost the ring
DbmShe was born in Gb9spring, but AbI was born too Dblate
AbBlame it on a Db/Ebsimple twist of fatAbe
