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.
