[D] [A] [B]
[D] [A] [Bm] [A]
[D] [A] [Bm] When I think [A] heaven is [Bm] living me in a black [D] wainbird, I think of flying [B] down into a sea
of [D] pins and [A] feathers and [Bm] all other [A] instruments of faith [D] and sex and [A] God in the belly of [Bm] a
black [A] wainbird.
Don't [Bm] try to feed me, [Bm] cause I've been here [G] before and [D] I deserve [E] a little
more.
[A] I [Bm] belong
[D] in the [E] service of [A] the queen.
I [Bm] belong
[D] [E] anywhere but in [A] between sheep [B] and
lion.
[D] I've been [E] thinking [A] and I [Bm] am [D] the reigning [E] king.
I [A] said mama, mama, [B] why am I so [A] alone?
I [D] can't go
outside [A] cause I'm scared that I [B] might not make it home.
[D] I'm alive, [A]
[Bm] but I'm sinking [A] in.
[D] If there's anyone home
at [A] your place darling, [Bm] please invite me [A] in.
Don't [Bm] try to bleed me, [G]
cause I've been there before [D] and I [E] deserve a little [A] more.
I [Bm] belong [D] in [E] the service [A] of the queen.
[Bm] I belong [D] [E] anywhere but in [A] between sheep [B] and lion.
[D] I just [E] keep thinking [A] and I [Bm] am [D] the reigning [E] king.
[Bm] And I only [D] want the same [A] as anyone.
[B] Mr.
Henderson just keeps waiting [A] for [Bm] the sun.
Seems night [D] endlessly begins and [A] ends and ends and [Bm] begins and ends.
After all the
[D] dreams, I just [A] want to come back [D] home [A] again.
[B] So [A]
[B]
[D] [A] [B]
[D] [A] [B] [A]
[D] they really [A] fish themselves to go [Bm] sinking down.
I [A] was underground and all [D] the little things that she [A] does to me [B] feel so good.
[A] I said every little bit of her loneliness, [B] I [A] think that endlessly confuses me.
I still [E] know she will last [A] soon, but when I look at her I [D] think of hell.
[A] So when I [D] think of hell, [B] [A] I
[D] [A] think [Bm] [A]
[D] of you.
Do you [A] think of me?
[B] [A] So when I [D] think of hell, [A] [Bm] deliver [A] me in a black [D] winged bird.
[A] I [B] think of dying.
[A] Come on lay me down [D] in a field of flowers.
[A] I'm claiming heather.
Surrender up my body [D] into the burning [A] heart of a god in the belly [Bm] of a black [A] winged bird.
Don't [Bm] try to bleed [G] me, [Bm] cause I've been there [G] before [D] and I deserve [E] a little more.
[A] I [Bm] belong [D] in [E] the service [A] of a queen.
[Bm] I belong [D] [E] anywhere but in [A] between sheep [B] and dying.
[D] [E] I've been drinking [A] and I [Bm] am [D] the reigning [E] king.
I said [A] that I [Bm] am [D] the reigning king.
[E] I [A] said goodnight [Bm] Elizabeth, I'm so [E] sorry now, [A] but I [Bm] am the [D] reigning king.
So why don't [Bm] you come in out of the [A] rain?
