Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The sun burns down
Leaving God's bright stamp
[Em]On Peach Branch Horse
and Bible Camp
Where [C]we're splashing in the water
[Em]Joined in song
Swim[Am]ming with the Spirit
the whole day [F]long
I'm a teen for God
[G]

[Verse 2]
God is [C]watching, [Am]teen for God[G]
God is [C]watching, [Am]teen for God
[G]

[Verse 3]
The girls have looks and
the girls have rules
They [Em]came here from their Bible schools
They can [C]make you pay attention
To the [Em]way you dress and eat
[Am]Make you trip over your [D]own
two feet [G]and they
Kneel down on their towels at night
[Em]Their nightgowns glow with a Holy light
And we [C]pray for the sinners
And their drunken [G]car [Em]wrecks
[G]And vow[Am] that I'll never get high[F]
And have sex
I'm a teen for God
[G]

[Verse 4]
God is [C]watching, [Am]teen for God[G]
God is [C]watching, [Am]teen for God
[G]

[Verse 5]
And [Bm]God made every leaf on every t[C]ree
Each [Bm]grain of sand
God has a plan
For [C]what [Em]we're [C]meant
[Am]to b[Em]e[F][C]
[F]I gotta wait for God
[G]

[Verse 6]
Dear Lord
I plan each day
[Em]The things I will not do or say
But I'm driven by a passion
Is it only there to tame?
[Am]It fills my heart and it calls
[D]my name [G]and
This world that you made for us
I [Em]know, I know, is dangerous
So I [C]ride a lot of horses
And I [Em]never even swear
[Am]Sorta like praying I'm [F]just not there
Oh God
[G]

[Verse 7]
God is [C]watching, [Am]oh God[G]
God is watching
[C][Am]
[G]

[Verse 8]
But [Bm]God made love
God made the rivers [C]run
And [Bm]cow boy boots and bathing suits
And [C]the boy's skin [Am]dries in the [F]sun
You gotta help me, God
[G]

[Verse 9]
[G]Help me know, four years from now
[Em]I won't believe in you anyhow
And I'll [C]mope [Em]around [C]the campus
And [Em]I'll feel betrayed
[Am]All those guilty sum[D]mers I stayed
[G]But then I'll laugh
That I fell for the lure
Of the [Em]pain of desire to feel so pure
And I'll [C]bear all the burdens
Of my [Em]little daily crimes
[Am]Wish I had a God for [F]such cynical times
Far from [Em]today

[Verse 10]
[Em]
But for [G]now I'm a sacred vessel
Rip me open, I spread your word
Like [C]a milkweed pod
[G]I'm a radio station,
Your [C]Holy [G]transmission
Even more, like a lightning rod

[Verse 11]
I'm a lightning [G]rod,
[C]a t[Am]een for God
[G]

[Verse 12]
God is [C]watching, [Am]teen for God[G]
God is [C]watch[Am] ing...
[F]a teen for God
[G][G]
