Verse
A#
Our dream daughter
D#
Candle on the altar
Cm Cm/A# F7/A D# A#
Blue eye on the left, your mother's brown on the right
A#
You grew taller
D#
Taller than I am
Cm Cm/A# F7/A D# A#
In white light from her breast, I touched your hand
[Chorus]
Gm9 Dm9
Who are you?
D# A# D#
Who would you have been?
Gm9 Fm6 D#
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
[Verse 2]
A#
One wing open
D#
I took off in slow motion
Cm Cm/A# F7/A D# A#
Cross-eyed, I did my best to climb
A#
The clouds broke
D#
Well, heaven took my throat
Cm Cm/A# F7/A D# A#
With two hands and a gentle eye, she let me die
[Chorus]
Gm9 Dm9
Who are you?
D# A# D#
Who would you have been?
Gm9 Fm6 D#
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
[Verse 3]
A#
Just cold water
D#
The shadow's getting longer
Cm Cm/A# F7/A D# A#
Though bright nights, hold my breath, silver on the right
A#
I took all the blankets
D#
And slept out in the yard
Cm Cm/A# F7/A D# A#
Moon fall, I swear I saw gold behind the stars
[Chorus]
Gm9 Dm9
Who are you?
D# A# D#
Who would you have been?
Gm9 Fm6 D#
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
