Watching You chords by Rodney Atkins

D
drivin through town just my boy and me, with a happy meal and his booster seat
Cadd9                G             D
knowin that he couldnt have his toy till his nuggets were gone
  D
A green traffic light turned straight to red, I hit my brakes and mumbled under my breath
   Cadd9             G             D
His fries went a flyin' and his orange drink covered his lap
       G         A
Well, then my 4 year old said a 4-letter word,
  D       A   G
it started with "s" and I was concerned,
G                     Em  G  A
So I said son, now where'd you learn, to talk like that.

           CHORUS
         D
He said Ive been watchin' you dad ain't that cool,
     A
I'm your buckaroo I wanna be like you
    G                A
And eat all my food, and grow as tall as you are.
    D                  A

D
We got back home and I went to the barn, I bowed my head and I prayed real hard,
   Cadd9        G       D
Said Lord please help me help my stupid self
D
Just this side of bedtime later that night, turning on my son's scooby doo night light
  Cadd9           G        D
He crawled out of bed and he got down on his knees
     G            A
He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands,
D    A        G
Spoke to God like he was talkin' to a friend,
G                     Em  G  A
And I said son, now where'd you learn, to pray like that

            CHORUS
        D
He said I been watchin you dad ain't that cool,
    A
Im your buckaroo I wanna be like you,
    G                A
And eat all my food, and grow as tall as you are,
    D
We like fixin' things and holdin' mama's hand
     A

 G   A  G  A     G    A(hold)
I wanna do, everything you do(hold),
           D

   C         G
With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug
    D
Said my little bear is growin' up
  C          G     A
And he said but when I'm big, I'll still know what to do.

            CHORUS
        D
Cause I've been watchin' you dad aint that cool
     A
I'm your buckaroo I wanna be like you,
    G                A
And eat all my food, and grow as tall as you are
    D
By then I'll be strong as superman,
     A
We'll be just alike hey won't we dad,
   G   A  G  A     G    A(hold)
When I can do, everything you do(hold),
             D
Cause I've been watchin' you (start fading out here)
