Watching You - Rodney Atkins | Guitar Chords | VChords

[Intro]

D | G | D | G 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
D
Driving through town
Just my boy and me
With a happy meal in his booster seat
A#                                C
Knowing that he couldn't have the toy
'Till his nuggets were gone
D
 A green traffic light turned straight to red
I hit my brakes and mumbled under my breath
    A#                         C
His fries went aflying and his orange drink covered his lap

[Pre-Chorus (1)]
---------------------
D             G                    A
 Well then my four year old said a four letter word
     Bm              A    G
That started with "S" and I was concerned
                    D                   Em   D G
So I said, "Son now where did you learn to talk like that?"

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
A                   D
 He said "I've been watching 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
We got cowboy boots and camo pants
           A
Yeah we're just alike, hey ain't we dad?
  G       A G         A      G
I wanna do  everything you do
A                      D
 So I've been watching you"

[Verse 2]
---------------------
G   D
 We got back home and I went to the barn
I bowed my head and I prayed real hard
      A#                     C
Said, "Lord please help me help my stupid self"
D
 Then this side of bedtime later that night
Turning on my son's Scooby Doo nightlight
   A#                        C
He crawled out of bed and he got down on his knees

[Pre-Chorus (2)]
---------------------
D          G                       A
 He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands
    Bm          A            G
And spoke to God like he was talking to a friend
                     D                 Em   D G
And I said, "Son now where'd you learn to pray like that?"

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
A                   D
 He said "I've been watching 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
We like fixing things and holding mama's hand
           A
Yeah we're just alike, hey ain't we dad?
  G       A G         A      G
I wanna do  everything you do
A                      D
 So I've been watching you"

[Bridge]
---------------------
     C                      G
With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug
          D
Said, "My little bear is growing up"
C                        G      Em         D     A
He said, "But when I'm big I'll still know what to do"

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
A                D
 Cause I've been watching 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
By then I'll be as strong as superman
         A
We'll be just alike, hey won't we dad?
     G       A G         A     G
When I can do  everything you do
A                         D
 Cause I've been watching you
