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