[verse]
D5                      A5
When I think of heaven
B5         A5                 D5
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
A5          B5     A5           D5               A5
I think of flying down into a sea of pens and feathers
B5            A5              D5                 A5
And all other instruments of faith and sex and God
                  B5           A5
In the belly of a black-winged bird.
B5    G5
Don't try to feed me
B5        G5
I've been here before
    D5           E5
And I deserve a little more

[chorus]
A5 B5    D5       E5              A5
I belong in the service of the Queen
A5 B5    D5   E5               A5
I belong anywhere but in between
A5          B5     D5               E5
She's been crying and I've been thinking
A5     B5     D5         E5
And I am the Rain King

[verse]
E5          D5           A5            B5   A5
And I said mama, mama, mama, why am I so alone?
D5          A5
I can't go outside
             B5                A5
I'm scared I might not make it home
    D5           A5
I'm alive, I'm alive
     B5           A5
But I'm sinking in
           D5                 A5
If there's anyone at home at your place, darling
B5                      A5
Why don't you invite me in?
B5    G5
Don't try to bleed me
B5        G5
I've been there before
    D5           E5
And I deserve a little more

[chorus]
A5 B5    D5       E5              A5
I belong in the service of the Queen
A5 B5    D5    E5              A5
I belong anywhere but in between
A5          B5    D5              E5
She's been lying and I've been sinking
A5     B5     D5         E5
And I am the Rain King

[bridge]
B5          D5                A5
Hey, I only want the same as anyone
B5           D5   A5   B5
Henderson is waiting for the sun
                   D5         A5
Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends
B5            D5               A5
After all the dreaming I come home again

repeat 
D5 A5 B5 A5 2x here


[verse]
D5               A5
When I think of heaven
B5         A5                 D5
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
A5          B5
I think of dying
A5                D5                  A5
Lay me down in a field of flame and heather
B5           A5             D5                A5
Render up my body into the burning heart of God
                B5             A5
In the belly of a black-winged bird
B5    G5
Don't try to bleed me
B5        G5
I've been here before
    D5           E5
And I deserve a little more

[chorus]
A5 B5    D5       E5              A5
I belong in the service of the queen
A5 B5    D5    E5              A5
I belong anywhere but in between
A5          B5    D5             E5
She's been dying and I've been drinking
A5     B5     D5          E5
And I am the Rain King
