Intro: [Eadd9 - E+5] x2


Verse 1:
     Eadd9                 E+5
Dear Avery, I think of you only
         Eadd9                         E+5
Were you waiting, were you dead on the vine
   Eadd9                 E+5
Oh Avery, I think of you lonely
             Eadd9                        E+5
I could just grab you by the nape of your neck


Chorus 1:
          B               A                          E
There are times life will rattle your bones and will bend your limbs
             B               A                    E
You'll still find a way, the boy you've never been
       B              A                         E
So you bend back, and shake at the frame of the frame you've made
A         B     A                       B          E
Don't you shake alone, please Avery-y-y-y come home


Interlude: [Eadd9 - E+5] x2


Verse 2: [use verse 1 chords]
Headstrong, you and your long arms
Listing lazily on the cusp of your teeth
You were my Avery and when you needed saving
I could just grab you by the nape of your neck


Chorus 2: [use chorus 1 chords]
There are times life will rattle your bones and will bend your limbs
You'll still find a way, the boy you've never been
So you bend back, and shake at the frame of the frame you've made
Don't you shake alone, please Avery-y-y-y come home [don't you shake alone]
Please Avery-y-y-y come home
