Paul Kelly – Anastasia (Guitar)

G                              Am
Anastasia left a kiss on the mirror

C                               G
And a couple of condoms by the bed

G                               Am
I tried to find her on her old number

C                               G
But I just got her boyfriend instead

         Am        G
Oh it's hard, so hard

        Am        C         G
When Anastasia changes her mind

G                                 Am
So I went back to working the quinellas

C                             G 
I collected three times in a row

G                                            Am
I swear it must have been that kiss on the mirror

C                                                      G
That I'd touch with my lips just for luck each time I'd go

          Am        G
Oh it's hard, very hard

        Am        C         G
When Anastasia changes her mind

G                                Am
Now the numbers were my daily devotion

C                                 G
I was stashing big bills in the floor

G                                Am
Then one night at my door a commotion

C                          G
Anastasia-at some ungodly hour!

G                              Am
I said 'Baby can I fix you a coffee

C                               G
And tomorrow let me buy you a dress

G                              Am
Since you've been gone I got lucky'

C                                  G
She just nodded her head and said 'I guess'

          Am              G
Oh it's hard, yeah it's hard

        Am        C        G
When Anastasia changes her mind

       G                                Am
Now 'Stacey' takes the crumbs from the table

      C                         G
And feeds them out back to the birds

G                                Am
Me, I can't even pick the daily double

         C                       G
Since that kiss on the mirror disappeared

            Am            G
Yeah it's hard, ain't it hard

         Am       C         G
When Anastasia changes her mind
