Verse
F
Our dream daughter
A#
Candle on the altar
Gm Gm/F C7/E A# F
Blue eye on the left, your mother's brown on the right
F
You grew taller
A#
Taller than I am
Gm Gm/F C7/E A# F
In white light from her breast, I touched your hand
[Chorus]
Dm9 Am9
Who are you?
A# F A#
Who would you have been?
Dm9 Cm6 A#
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
[Verse 2]
F
One wing open
A#
I took off in slow motion
Gm Gm/F C7/E A# F
Cross-eyed, I did my best to climb
F
The clouds broke
A#
Well, heaven took my throat
Gm Gm/F C7/E A# F
With two hands and a gentle eye, she let me die
[Chorus]
Dm9 Am9
Who are you?
A# F A#
Who would you have been?
Dm9 Cm6 A#
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
[Verse 3]
F
Just cold water
A#
The shadow's getting longer
Gm Gm/F C7/E A# F
Though bright nights, hold my breath, silver on the right
F
I took all the blankets
A#
And slept out in the yard
Gm Gm/F C7/E A# F
Moon fall, I swear I saw gold behind the stars
[Chorus]
Dm9 Am9
Who are you?
A# F A#
Who would you have been?
Dm9 Cm6 A#
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
