Dear Avery, I think [G#] of you only
[C#] Were [C#] you waving?
Were you dead on the vine?
Oh Avery, I think of you lost
But I could [F#] just grab you by [C#] the nape of your neck
There are times [B] like we'll rattle your bones [F#] and we'll bend your limbs
But you're [C#] still far and away [B] the boy you've ever [F#] been
So [C#] you bend back [B] and shake at the frame [F#] of the frame you made
[D#m] But don't you shake [B] alone, [G#m] please Avery, [C#] come [F#] home
[G#]
[F#]
[G#] [C#]
[F#] Head strong, you and your long [Bm] arms
[F#]
Listing lazily on the cusp of your [Bm] tears
You were [F#] my Avery when you needed [G#] saving
[C#m] I could just [F#] grab you by the nape of your [Bm] neck
[F#]
[C#] There are times like [B] we'll rattle your bones [F#] and we'll bend your [C#] limbs
[F#] But you're [C#] still far and away [B] the boy you've ever [F#] been
[C#] So you bend back [B] and shake at the frame of [F#] the frame you made
[D#m] But don't you [C#] shake [B] alone, [G#m] please Avery, [C#] come [D#m] home
Don't you [C#] shake [B] alone, [G#m] please Avery, [C#] come [F#] home
