[verse]
D AWhen I think of heaven
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
A Bm A D AI think of flying down into a sea of pens and feathers
Bm A D AAnd all other instruments of faith and sex and God
In the belly of a black-winged bird.
Bm GDon't try to feed me
Bm GI've been here before
And I deserve a little more
I belong in the service of the Queen
I belong anywhere but in between
A Bm D EShe's been crying and I've been thinking
A Bm D EAnd I am the Rain King
[verse]
E D A Bm AAnd I said mama, mama, mama, why am I so alone?
D AI can't go outside
I'm scared I might not make it home
D AI'm alive, I'm alive
Bm ABut I'm sinking in
If there's anyone at home at your place, darling
Bm AWhy don't you invite me in?
Bm GDon't try to bleed me
I've been there before
D EAnd I deserve a little more
chorus
I belong in the service of the Queen
A Bm D E AI belong anywhere but in between
A Bm D EShe's been lying and I've been sinking
And I am the Rain King
[bridge]
Bm D AHey, I only want the same as anyone
Henderson is waiting for the sun
D AOh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends
Bm D AAfter all the dreaming I come home again
repeat D A Bm A 2x here
[verse]
D AWhen I think of heaven
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
A BmI think of dying
A D ALay me down in a field of flame and heather
Render up my body into the burning heart of God
Bm AIn the belly of a black-winged bird
Bm GDon't try to bleed me
I've been here before
D EAnd I deserve a little more
chorus
I belong in the service of the queen
A Bm D E AI belong anywhere but in between
A Bm D EShe's been dying and I've been drinking
And I am the Rain King
