Verse
B
Our dream daughter
E
Candle on the altar
C#m C#m/B F#7/A# E B
Blue eye on the left, your mother's brown on the right
B
You grew taller
E
Taller than I am
C#m C#m/B F#7/A# E B
In white light from her breast, I touched your hand
[Chorus]
G#m9 D#m9
Who are you?
E B E
Who would you have been?
G#m9 F#m6 E
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
[Verse 2]
B
One wing open
E
I took off in slow motion
C#m C#m/B F#7/A# E B
Cross-eyed, I did my best to climb
B
The clouds broke
E
Well, heaven took my throat
C#m C#m/B F#7/A# E B
With two hands and a gentle eye, she let me die
[Chorus]
G#m9 D#m9
Who are you?
E B E
Who would you have been?
G#m9 F#m6 E
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
[Verse 3]
B
Just cold water
E
The shadow's getting longer
C#m C#m/B F#7/A# E B
Though bright nights, hold my breath, silver on the right
B
I took all the blankets
E
And slept out in the yard
C#m C#m/B F#7/A# E B
Moon fall, I swear I saw gold behind the stars
[Chorus]
G#m9 D#m9
Who are you?
E B E
Who would you have been?
G#m9 F#m6 E
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
