Verse
E
Our dream daughter
A
Candle on the altar
F#m F#m/E B7/D# A E
Blue eye on the left, your mother's brown on the right
E
You grew taller
A
Taller than I am
F#m F#m/E B7/D# A E
In white light from her breast, I touched your hand
[Chorus]
C#m9 G#m9
Who are you?
A E A
Who would you have been?
C#m9 Bm6 A
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
[Verse 2]
E
One wing open
A
I took off in slow motion
F#m F#m/E B7/D# A E
Cross-eyed, I did my best to climb
E
The clouds broke
A
Well, heaven took my throat
F#m F#m/E B7/D# A E
With two hands and a gentle eye, she let me die
[Chorus]
C#m9 G#m9
Who are you?
A E A
Who would you have been?
C#m9 Bm6 A
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
[Verse 3]
E
Just cold water
A
The shadow's getting longer
F#m F#m/E B7/D# A E
Though bright nights, hold my breath, silver on the right
E
I took all the blankets
A
And slept out in the yard
F#m F#m/E B7/D# A E
Moon fall, I swear I saw gold behind the stars
[Chorus]
C#m9 G#m9
Who are you?
A E A
Who would you have been?
C#m9 Bm6 A
Blue jay stuck in my kitchen
