D Gm
Dear Avery, I think of you only

Were you waving? Were you dead on the vine?

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

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

Dsus2 Gm
Verse (D Gm):
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
Bm A G
(Don't you shake alone!)
Em A
Please Avery-y-y-y, come home
D Gm (repeat to end)
During the intro and parts between verses, the Dsus2 can be substituted with a D, and
the Gm can be switched between the two versions in the chord section. Enjoy this beautiful song!
