 AOn my fifth birthday
 GI got so upset
 DAbout the brand new bike
 Athat I didn't get
 AI'd prayed my heart out and it
 Gdidn't seem fair
 DI told my grandpa I guess
 AGod doesn't care and He jusGt smiled
And said my Achild
MaDke no mistake
AEvery prayer you pray
Get's aGnswered
Even tBhouAgh
GSometimes the Aanswer 
Is Dno
 AFive years later
 GOut behind the shed
 DWith a stolen pack of 
 AGranpa's ciggerets
 AI struck a match 
 GAnd held that first one to my lips
 DAnd prayed to God please let me 
 AGet away with this 
And through the smGokey air
I saw grandpa sAtandin' there
MaDke no mistake
AEvery prayer you pray gets anGswered
Even BthouAgh
GSometimes 
The aAnswer is Dno
When I tDhink of all the aAnswers in my Glife
I would have to saDy 
There's Ano Gdoubt 
It was always for the Dbest
When I dGidn't get my DwaAy
 DWell Grandpa got older 
 ALike grandpas do
 GHis health was feelin and I 
 AGuess I knew
 AThat It'd be best if He was
 GCalled on home
 DBut selfishly I prayed to God
To kAeep Him hangin on 
And when He paGssed away
In my mind I hAeard Him Gsay
MDake no mistake
AEvery prayer you pray gets aGnswered
Even BthoAugh
GSometimes the aAnswer

On my fifth birthday

I got so upset

About the brand new bike

that I didn't get

I'd prayed my heart out and it

didn't seem fair

I told my grandpa I guess

A G

God doesn't care and He just smiled

And said my child

Make no mistake

Every prayer you pray

Get's answered

B A

Even though

G A

Sometimes the answer

Is no

Five years later

Out behind the shed

With a stolen pack of

Granpa's ciggerets

I struck a match

And held that first one to my lips

And prayed to God please let me

Get away with this

And through the smokey air

I saw grandpa standin' there

Make no mistake

A G

Every prayer you pray gets answered

B A

Even though

Sometimes

A D

The answer is no

D A G

When I think of all the answers in my life

I would have to say

A G

There's no doubt

It was always for the best

G D A

When I didn't get my way

Well Grandpa got older

Like grandpas do

His health was feelin and I

Guess I knew

That It'd be best if He was

Called on home

But selfishly I prayed to God

To keep Him hangin on

And when He passed away

A G

In my mind I heard Him say

Make no mistake

A G

Every prayer you pray gets answered

B A

Even though

G A

Sometimes the answer

Is no
