Verse
A
Our dream daughter
D
Candle on the altar
Bm Bm/A E7/G# D A
Blue eye on the left, your mother's brown on the right
A
You grew taller
D
Taller than I am
Bm Bm/A E7/G# D A
In white light from her breast, I touched your hand
[Chorus]
F#m9 C#m9
Who are you?
D A D
Who would you have been?
F#m9 Em6 D
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
[Verse 2]
A
One wing open
D
I took off in slow motion
Bm Bm/A E7/G# D A
Cross-eyed, I did my best to climb
A
The clouds broke
D
Well, heaven took my throat
Bm Bm/A E7/G# D A
With two hands and a gentle eye, she let me die
[Chorus]
F#m9 C#m9
Who are you?
D A D
Who would you have been?
F#m9 Em6 D
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
[Verse 3]
A
Just cold water
D
The shadow's getting longer
Bm Bm/A E7/G# 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
Bm Bm/A E7/G# D A
Moon fall, I swear I saw gold behind the stars
[Chorus]
F#m9 C#m9
Who are you?
D A D
Who would you have been?
F#m9 Em6 D
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
