Unanswered Prayers

Intro:  Em   F#m   G   A

D                          G
Just the other night and a hometown 
football game
   D              Bm   Em        
My wife and I ran into my old 
         A
high school flame
    G         F#m            Bm  
And as I introduced them the past
              G
 came back to me
      Em                F#m       
And I couldn't help but think of 
   G                  A
the way things used to be
D                        G
She was the one that I'd wanted for 
all times
    D                    Bm    
And each night I'd spend prayin' 
       Em                 A
that God would make her mine
    G            F#m           Bm
And if he'd only grant me this 
                 G
wish I wished back then
    Em            F#m      A
I'd never ask for anything again
CHORUS:

                  D       G       
Sometimes I thank God for 
      A
unanswered prayers
    D                   Bm        
Remember when you're talkin' to 
  Em       A
the man upstairs
            D                F#m  
That just because he doesn't 
          G             Bm
answer doesn't mean he don't care
        D              A    G    
Some of God's greatest gifts are 
              D
unanswered prayers
D                                 
She wasn't quite the angel that I 
    G
remembered in my dreams
            D                 
And I could tell that time had 
 Bm
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                   
I guess the Lord knows what he's 
F#m         A
doin' after all
    G                    F#m      
And as she walked away I looked at
    Bm
 my wife
             Em                  
And then and there I thanked the 
F#m
good Lord
        G           A
For the gifts in my life
CHORUS:
                  D       G

          G             Bm
answer doesn't mean he don't care

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    
Some of God's greatest gifts are 
              D
