INTRO: Em F#m G A
D G
Just the other night and a hometown football game
D Bm Em A
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
G F#m Bm G
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
Em F#m G A
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be
D G
She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
D Bm Em A
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
G F#m Bm G
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
Em F#m A
I'd never ask for anything again
CHORUS:
D G A
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
D Bm Em A
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
D F#m G Bm
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
D A G D
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
D G
She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
D Bm
And I could tell that time had changed me
Em A
In her eyes too it seemed
G F#m
We tried to talk about the old days
Bm G
There wasn't much we could recall
Em F#m A
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all
G F#m Bm
And as she walked away I looked at my wife
Em F#m
And then and there I thanked the good Lord
G A
For the gifts in my life
CHORUS:
D G A
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
D Bm Em A
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
D F#m G Bm
That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care
D A G
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered...
D A G
Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
D A G D
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
