When I think of a celebrity in a black [D] winged bird, [A] I [D] think of flying [A] down [D] in your sea of
[A] pins and feathers [D] and all [A] of the instruments [D] of faith and [A] sex and God and [Bm] belly of black [A] winged bird.
[B] [Bm] Don't [G] try to feed [Bm] me, [G] I've been here [D] before and I [E] deserve a little [A] more.

[E] [D] I said mama, [A] mama, mama, [D] why am I [A] so alone?
[D] I can't [F#m] go outside, I'm [D] scared I might not [A] make it home.
[D] I'm alive, [A] I'm alive, [D] but I'm [A] sinking in.
[D] If there's anyone who [A] calms your pain, [Bm] darling, why don't you [A] invite me in?
[Bm] [G] Don't try to feed [Bm] me, [G] I've been here [D] before and I [E] deserve a [A] little more.
[Bm] I belong [D] [E] in the service [A] of a queen.
[Bm] I belong [D] [E] anywhere I've [A] been.
[Bm] She's been lying, [D] [E] I've been thinking, [A] and [Bm] I [D] am the reason.
[E]
[B] Hey, I [D] only want the [A] same as [B] anyone, and the [D] sun is [A] way
[B] too sun.
All it [D] seems, night and her [A] sleep begins [Bm] at night.
After [D] all the dreaming, [A] I come [D] home [A] again.
[Bm] [A]
[D] [A] [Bm] [A]
[D] When I [A] think of heaven, [D] [A] heaven being a black [D] winged bird.
[A] You [D] think of dying, [A] let me [D] die in a field of [A] flame and feather.
[D] Render [A] up my body [D] into the burning [A] heart of God and the belly of a [D] black [A] winged [B] bird.
[Bm] Don't [G] try to feed [Bm] me, because [G] I've been here [D] before and I [E] deserve a little [A] more.
[Bm] I belong [D] [E] in the service [A] of a queen.
