In the belly of a [Am]black-winged [G]bird

[Am]Don't try to feed [F]me
[Am]'Cause I've been here [F]before
And [C]I deserve a l[D]ittle more

[C]in the ser[D]vice of the que[G]en
And I [Am]belong

why am [Am]I so al[G]one"
'Cause [C]I can't go outs[G]ide,
I'm scared I [Am]might not make it [G]home
Well I'm [C]alive, I'm [G]alive,
[Am]but I'm sinking in[G]
If there's [C]anyone at home
at [G]your place, darling
[Am]Why don't you invite me [G]in?
