D A/C#
When I think of heaven
Bm A D
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
A/C# Bm E A D A/C#
I think of flying down into a sea of pens and feathers
Bm A D A/C#
And all other instruments of faith and sex and God
Bm E A
In the belly of a black-winged bird.
Bm G
Don' t try to feed me
Bm G
I' ve been here before
D E
And I deserve a little more
A Bm D E A
I belong in the service of the Queen
A Bm D E A
I belong anywhere but in between
A Bm D E
She' s been crying and I' ve been thinking
A Bm D E
And I am the Rain King
D A/C# Bm A
And I said mama, mama, mama, why am I so alone?

I can' t go outside
Bm E A
I' m scared I might not make it home
D A/C#
I' m alive, I' m alive
Bm A
But I' m sinking in
D A/C#
If there' s anyone at home at your place, darling
Bm E A
Why don' t you invite me in?
Bm G
Don' t try to bleed me
Bm G
I' ve been there before
D E
And I deserve a little more
A Bm D E A
I belong in the service of the Queen
A Bm D E A
I belong anywhere but in between
A Bm D E
She' s been lying and I' ve been sinking
A Bm D E
And I am the Rain King
Bm D A
Hey, I only want the same as anyone
Bm D A Bm
Henderson is waiting for the sun
D A
Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends
Bm D A
After all the dreaming I come home again
D A/C#
When I think of heaven
Bm A D
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
A/C# Bm E
I think of dying
A D A/C#
Lay me down in a field of flame and heather
Bm A D A/C#
Render up my body into the burning heart of God
Bm E A
In the belly of a black-winged bird
Bm G
Don' t try to bleed me
Bm G
I' ve been here before
D E
And I deserve a little more
A Bm D E A
I belong in the service of the queen
A Bm D E A
I belong anywhere but in between
A Bm D E
She' s been dying and I' ve been drinking
A Bm D E
And I am the Rain King
A Bm D E
And I am the Rain King
A Bm
I said good night Elisabeth
E
I' m so sorry now
A Bm D
but I am the rain king
D C# Bm A
So why don' t you come in out of the rain
