Em   D/F#   G   A


[Verse 1]
D              D/F#        G
Just the other night at a hometown 
football game
   D       A/C#    Bm A Em     
My wife and I ran into my old 
            A
high school flame
    G          F#m            Bm 
And as I introduced them the past
        A      G
 came back to me
      Em                D/F#      
And I couldn't help but think of 
    G                  A
the way things used to be

D          D/F#          G
She was the one that 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 this 
Bm       A          G  F#m
wish I wished back then
    Em            D/F#      A
I'd never ask for anything again

Remember when you're talkin' to 
  Em       A
the man upstairs
            D                D7/F#
That just because he doesn't

[Verse 2]
D                     D/F#       
She wasn't quite the angel that I
      G
 remembered in my dreams
            D         A/C#   
And I could tell that time had 
   Bm       A
changed me
   Em              A
In her eyes too it seemed
            G               F#m
We tried to talk about the old days
             Bm        A      G   
There wasn't much we could recall
 F#m

            Em                   
I guess the Lord knows what he's 
D/F#        A
doin' after all


[Bridge]
    G                    F#m      
And as she walked away I looked at
     Bm
 my wife
             Em                  
And then and there I thanked the 
D/F#
good Lord
        G           A
For the gifts in my life


[Chorus]
                  D D/F#     G   
Sometimes I thank God for
