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