   G minorGm
Dear Avery, I think of you only

     G minorGm
Were you waving? Were you dead on the vine?

Oh Avery, I think of you lonely

But I could just grab you by the nape of your neck


Chorus:

    D MajorD
There are times life will rattle your bones and will bend your limbs

       D MajorD
You're still far and away the boy you've ever been

So you bend back and shake at the frame Of the frame you made

  G+G
But don't you shake alone

Please Avery-y-y-y, come home

G minorGm

Verse (G minorGm):
Headstrong, you and your long arms
Listing lazily on the cusp of your tease
But you were my Avery and when you needed saving
I could just grab you by the nape of your neck


Chorus:
There are times life will rattle your bones
And will bend your limbs
You're still far and away the boy you've ever been
So you bend back and shake at the frame
Of the frame you made
But don't you shake alone
Please Avery, come home

G+G
(Don't you shake alone!)

    A augmentedA
Please Avery-y-y-y, come home

D MajorD G minorGm (repeat to end)
