When I think of a celebrity in a [D] black windbird
[A] I [D] think of flying [A] down [D] in your sea of [A] pins and [D] feathers
And all [A] of the [D] instruments of faith and [A] sex
And God in the [Bm] belly of a black [A] windbird
[B] [Bm] Don't [G] try to feed [Bm] me, cause [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 the queen
[Bm] I belong [D] [E] anywhere but [A] in between
[B] She's been crying, [D] [E] I've been thinking
[A] And I [Bm] am [D] the [E] reindeer
[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] Is anyone at [A] home?
Why don't you play, [Bm] darling?
Why don't you [A] invite me in?

[Bm] I belong [D] [E] anywhere but [A] in between
[Bm] She's been lying, [D] [E] I've been thinking
[A] And I [Bm] am [D] the reindeer
[E]
[B] Hey, I [D] only want the [A] same as [Bm] anyone
And dirt's [D] on its way, [A] hey, hey, hey, [B] hey, hey
For the sun, ah, it [D] seems night and sleep [A] begins [Bm] again
After [D] all the dreaming, [A] I come [D] home [A] again
[Bm] When [A]
[D] [A] [Bm] [A]
[D] I [A] think of heaven
[D] [A] Left with me and a black [D] winged bird
[A] [D] Think of dying
[A] Lay me [D] down and feel the [A] flame in me, [D] brother
Render [A] up my body [D] into the burning [A] heart of God
And the [D] belly of a black [A] winged bird
[B] Don't [G] try to bleed [Bm] me, cause [G] I've been here [D] before

[Bm] I belong [D] [E] anywhere but [A] in between
[Bm] She's been dying, I've [E] been drinking
[A] And [Bm] I am [D] the reindeer
[E] [A] I said that [Bm] I am [D] the reindeer
