[Intro]
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 A
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
G F#m Bm A G
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
Em D/F# G A
And I couldn't help but think of 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 Em A
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
G F#m Bm A G F#m
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
Em D/F# A
I'd never ask for anything again
[Chorus]
D D/F# G A
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
D A/C# Bm A Em A
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
D D7/F# G E7
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
D Bm Em A D F#m G A
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
[Verse 2]
D D/F# G
She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
D A/C# Bm A
And I could tell that time had changed me
Em A
In her eyes too it seemed
G F#m
We tried to talk about the old days
Bm A G F#m
There wasn't much we could recall
Em D/F# A
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all
[Bridge]
G F#m Bm
And as she walked away I looked at my wife
Em D/F#
And then and there I thanked the good Lord
G A
For the gifts in my life
[Chorus]
D D/F# G A
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
D A/C# Bm A Em A
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
D D7/F# G E7
That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care
D Bm Em A
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
D Bm Em A
Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
D Bm Em A D F#m G A D
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
