Intro: F - Bbm x2
Verse 1:
F Bbm
Dear Avery, I think of you only
F Bbm
Were you waiting, were you dead on the vine
F Bbm
Oh Avery, I think of you lonely
F Bbm
I could just grab you by the nape of your neck

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

Bb C Bb Gm C F
Don't you shake alone, please Avery-y-y-y come home

Headstrong, you and your long arms
F Bbm
Listing lazily on the cusp of your teeth
