C                    F
My mother hates her body
     C7               Dm
We share the same outline
      E             Fmaj7
She swears that she loves mine
    C         F
I blur at the edges
    C7                   Dm
I’m all soft shapes and lines
      E                F
Shapeshifting all the time

Chorus:
      C                  G
The stars have a lot to say
       F                  D
About babies born in the month of May
        C          F
We are down to Earth
        C
We see eye to eye
       Fm
We dig our feet in
    G
My mother and I
    F
My mother and I

They called me an old soul
When I was too young to know
The difference between a soul and a ghost
I feared what was inside
Trapped in my body kept from the other side
A spirit searching for her second life

Chorus:
The stars have a lot to say
About women born in the month of May
We want love
Warm and forever
We want to die in the presence of our loved ones
My mother and I
My mother and I

All she has given
All I have taken
All is forgiven
All is forsaken
