[Intro]
D - D/F# - G - A - A
[Verse 1]
D D/F#
Just the other night
G
at a hometown football game
D A/C#
My wife and I ran
Bm A Em A
into my old high school flame
G F#m
And as I introduced them
Bm A G F#m
the past came back to me
Em D/F#
And I couldn't help but think
G A
of the way things used to be
[Verse 2]
D D/F#
She was the one that
G
I'd wanted for all times
D A/C# Bm A
And each night I'd spend prayin'
Em A
that God would make her mine
G F#m
And if he'd only grant me
Bm A G F#m
this wish I wished back then
Em D/F# A
I'd never ask for anything again
[Chorus]
D D/F#
Sometimes I thank God
G A
for unanswered prayers
D A/C# Bm A
Remember when you're talkin'
Em A
to the man upstairs
D
That just because
D7/F#
He doesn't answer
G E7
doesn't mean he don't care
D Bm
Some of God's greatest gifts
Em A D F#m G A
are unanswered prayers
[Verse 3]
D D/F#
She wasn't quite the angel
G
that I remembered in my dreams
D
And I could tell
A/C# Bm A
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 A G F#m
There wasn't much we could recall
Em
I guess the Lord knows
D/F# A F#m
what he's doin' after all
[Bridge]
G F#m Bm
And as she walked away I looked at my wife
Em D/F#
And then and there I thanked the good Lord
G A
For the gifts in my life
[Chorus]
A Bm A/C# D D/F#
Sometimes I thank God
G A
for unanswered prayers
D A/C# Bm A
Remember when you're talkin'
Em A
to the man upstairs
D
That just because
D7/F#
He doesn't answer
G E7
doesn't mean he don't care
D Bm
Some of God's greatest gifts
Em A
are unanswered . . .
D Bm
Some of God's greatest gifts
Em A
are all too often unanswered...
D Bm
Some of God's greatest gifts
Em A D F#m G A D
are unanswered prayers. . .
