Alyosha (spoken): "Anastasia, why do you look so sad?"
Bb majorBb
Anastasia (spoken): "Oh, Alyosha, sorry, you surprised me.
DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb
I'm- I- I'm... Just lonely, I guess. Father's off being
DmDm
emperor in the far reaches of the Setka, taking over every
C majorC
small little network he can get a hold of to increase his
Bb majorBb
galactic empire. Mother's uploading every quaint party that
DmDm C majorC
she can dream of. So she's never around either. And if she
Bb majorBb
is she's not listening to talk about. And all my brothers
are off learning to be emperors in their own turn or...
DmDm C majorC
Learning all the programming languages. Learning how to look
Bb majorBb
after everything, fixing bugs. Whatever boys are allowed to
C majorC Bb majorBb
do. Lonely. And it's not as if I can talk to anybody else.
Bloody won't. You're not allowed to speak to commoners. I
DmDm
mean, I don't know why I'm allowed to speak to you."
Alyosha (spoken): "Thanks a lot."
C majorC Bb majorBb
Anastasia (spoken): "Sorry. I- Some people have been talking
DmDm C majorC
about... The equality that could come with- with revolution."
Bb majorBb
Alyosha (spoken): "My dear, I have served your family for
DmDm
almost 70 years, and I ask you, take advice from an old man.
C majorC Bb majorBb
Come away from the window. Your family has done many terrible
DmDm
things, yes, but I hear the revolutionaries and I'm afraid.
C majorC Bb majorBb
They speak of equality and freedom in such high-minded terms,
DmDm
but in them I can see the eyes of the wolf. Freedom that comes
C majorC
through violence can only ever cause suffering. So I implore
Bb majorBb
you, come away from the window. Accept the destiny of your
DmDm C majorC
blood, and resolve to be a better leader than your ancestors.
Bb majorBb
Look, here comes your tutor. Maybe she can help."
DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb
Tutor: Oh Anastasia,
DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb
Your people need you to hear their cries,
DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb
You're a butterfly in a glass cage,
DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb
But even butterflies can cause hurricanes.
DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb
The demons of your past can be driven from this abattoir,
DmDm C majorC Bb majorBb
When the time comes, I shan't be far.

Bb majorBb C majorC DmDm
Alyosha: Oh Anastasia,
Bb majorBb C majorC DmDm
Accept the destiny of your blood,
Bb majorBb C majorC
I see in you the demon's eyes,
DmDm
There is no road to paradise,
Bb majorBb C majorC DmDm
Come away from the window, Anastasia.
Bb majorBb C majorC DmDm
Alyosha, Tutor(overlapping): Oh Anastasia
(Oh Anastasia)

(But even butterflies can cause hurricanes)

never meant to happen! They were never meant to start a fight!

see? But... I can find you a comfortable spot on the wall."
