Verse
D
Our dream daughter
G
Candle on the altar
Em Em/D A7/C# G D
Blue eye on the left, your mother's brown on the right
D
You grew taller
G
Taller than I am
Em Em/D A7/C# G D
In white light from her breast, I touched your hand
[Chorus]
Bm9 F#m9
Who are you?
G D G
Who would you have been?
Bm9 Am6 G
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
[Verse 2]
D
One wing open
G
I took off in slow motion
Em Em/D A7/C# G D
Cross-eyed, I did my best to climb
D
The clouds broke
G
Well, heaven took my throat
Em Em/D A7/C# G D
With two hands and a gentle eye, she let me die
[Chorus]
Bm9 F#m9
Who are you?
G D G
Who would you have been?
Bm9 Am6 G
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
[Verse 3]
D
Just cold water
G
The shadow's getting longer
Em Em/D A7/C# G D
Though bright nights, hold my breath, silver on the right
D
I took all the blankets
G
And slept out in the yard
Em Em/D A7/C# G D
Moon fall, I swear I saw gold behind the stars
[Chorus]
Bm9 F#m9
Who are you?
G D G
Who would you have been?
Bm9 Am6 G
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
