Artist: Ethan Hawke Song: Ryan's Song Album: Split the Difference (Daddy's Lullaby) Featured in the motion picture "Boyhood" (2014) Strum: D DU UDU (emphasis on the first down strum) Each chord is played for two bars. C I wanna go to Austin but I want to stay home F invite our friends but still be alone C live for danger but play it cool G have everyone respect me for being the fool C I wanna have 15 ice creams F but still watch what I eat C and win all the prizes G but still keep my feet C I want for us to be together forever F but to wander wherever I may C I want you to be easy and casual G but still demand I stay C I want for us to go out to dinner F and make a home cooked meal C wear an evening gown G and quickly ditch the heels C Climb to the top look over the ledge F dance bare foot on a razor’s edge C reach for the stars grab the tiger by the tail G but if I don’t try I’ll never fail C Cause if you go home you’re rolling dice F can’t step in the same river twice C You love too much it’ll turn to hate G If you never leave home you’ll never be late C cause everything’s like your grandma said F you can’t make gold from a pot of lead C Jesse James was just a crook G you can’t learn to plow by reading a book C I wanna take the train but get there fast F live in the moment, have everything last C achieve great things but not really care G have everyone love me but tell ‘em not to stare C I wanna be really rich F but not care about money C to always tell the truth G but still be really funny C I want for you to know me completely F but still remain mysterious C consider everything deeply G but still remain fearless C I’m easy to please I like chocolate and vanilla F ask me to choose and I’ll pick sarsaparilla C I like sunsets but I love sunrises F and I don’t care about the color of your eyes C Gotta play fast but only shoot once F stand in the corner, hold hands with the dunce C Only thing’s for certain nothing stays the same G and each and every kid only gets one name C Eat too much, you’re gonna get fat F buy a dog and you’ll piss off the cat C So take a deep breath and enjoy the ride G G G C (single strums) ‘Cause arrivals and departures run side by side.
