[Verse 1]
   C                  Em    G      C
Today I caught you laughing, Ava,
   C               Em   G      C
It sounded so fantastic, Ava,
         C                  Em   G      C
Don't you ever stop your smiling, Ava,
         C               Em
But don't apologise for crying.

Ava no no,
      C               Em      G                   C
You're never in your own, We're never fully grown,
      C               Em          G         C
You'll grow through this, painful as it is,
      C                     Em          G                     C
You've always got this shoulder, Feeling lonely you come over,
C    Em G
Ava.

Don't try pushing me away, Ava,

Know that I am here to stay.

You were there for me, and you cared for me.
