A
On my fifth birthday
G
I got so upset
D
About the brand new bike
A
that I didn't get
A
I'd prayed my heart out and it
G
didn't seem fair
D
I told my grandpa I guess
A G
God doesn't care and He just smiled
A
And said my child
D
Make no mistake
A
Every prayer you pray
G
Get's answered
B A
Even though
G A
Sometimes the answer
D
Is no
A
Five years later
G
Out behind the shed
D
With a stolen pack of
A
Granpa's ciggerets
A
I struck a match
G
And held that first one to my lips
D
And prayed to God please let me
A
Get away with this
G
And through the smokey air
A
I saw grandpa standin' there
D
Make no mistake
A G
Every prayer you pray gets answered
B A
Even though
G
Sometimes
A D
The answer is no
D A G
When I think of all the answers in my life
D
I would have to say
A G
There's no doubt
D
It was always for the best
G D A
When I didn't get my way
D
Well Grandpa got older
A
Like grandpas do
G
His health was feelin and I
A
Guess I knew
A
That It'd be best if He was
G
Called on home

But selfishly I prayed to God
A
To keep Him hangin on
G
And when He passed away
A G
In my mind I heard Him say
D
Make no mistake

Every prayer you pray gets answered

Even though

Sometimes the answer
