     Dsus2                     Gm
Dear Avery, I think of you only

         Dsus2                             Gm
Were you waving? Were you dead on the vine?

     Dsus2                     Gm
Oh Avery, I think of you lonely

                Dsus2                             Gm
But I could just grab you by the nape of your neck
[Chorus]
        A               G                       D
There are times life will rattle your bones and will bend your limbs

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

       A             G             D
So you bend back and shake at the frame Of the frame you made

    Bm               A           G
But don't you shake alone

       Em        A
Please Avery-y-y-y, come home
[Instrumental] Dsus2 Gm Dsus2 Gm [Verse 2]
Dsus2                    Gm
Headstrong, you and your long arms

        Dsus2                      Gm
Listing lazily on the cusp of your teens

                Dsus2                     Gm
But you were my Avery and when you needed saving

             Dsus2                        Gm
I could just grab you by the nape of your neck
[Chorus]
        A               G                       D
There are times life will rattle your bones and will bend your limbs

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

       A             G             D
So you bend back and shake at the frame Of the frame you made

    Bm               A           G
But don't you shake alone

       Em        A
Please Avery-y-y-y, come home
[Outro]
Bm         A      G
(Don't you shake alone!)

       Em        A
Please Avery-y-y-y, come home
Dsus2 Gm
