Verse
G
Our dream daughter
C
Candle on the altar
Am Am/G D7/F# C G
Blue eye on the left, your mother's brown on the right
G
You grew taller
C
Taller than I am
Am Am/G D7/F# C G
In white light from her breast, I touched your hand
[Chorus]
Em9 Bm9
Who are you?
C G C
Who would you have been?
Em9 Dm6 C
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
[Verse 2]
G
One wing open
C
I took off in slow motion
Am Am/G D7/F# C G
Cross-eyed, I did my best to climb
G
The clouds broke
C
Well, heaven took my throat
Am Am/G D7/F# C G
With two hands and a gentle eye, she let me die
[Chorus]
Em9 Bm9
Who are you?
C G C
Who would you have been?
Em9 Dm6 C
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
[Verse 3]
G
Just cold water
C
The shadow's getting longer
Am Am/G D7/F# C G
Though bright nights, hold my breath, silver on the right
G
I took all the blankets
C
And slept out in the yard
Am Am/G D7/F# C G
Moon fall, I swear I saw gold behind the stars
[Chorus]
Em9 Bm9
Who are you?
C G C
Who would you have been?
Em9 Dm6 C
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
