INTRO: D (xx0232@1) D/F# (200232@1) G (320003@1) Asus4 (x02230@1)A (x02220@1)D (xx0232@1) D/F# (200232@1) G (320003@1) AJust (x02220@1)the other night and a hometown football game
D (xx0232@1) D/C# (x40232@1)D/B (x20232@1)name="chord_x02220@1">A Em (022000@1) AMy (x02220@1)wife and I ran into my old high school flame
G (320003@1) D/F# (200232@1) Bm (x24432@1) A (x02220@1) G (320003@1) G/F#And (320002@1)as I introduced them the past came back to me
Em (022000@1) D/F# (200232@1) G (320003@1) Asus4 (x02230@1) AAnd (x02220@1)I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be
D (xx0232@1) D/F# (200232@1) G (320003@1) AShe (x02220@1)was the one that I'd wanted for all times
D (xx0232@1) D/C# (x40232@1) D/B (x20232@1)name="chord_x02220@1">A Em (022000@1) A (x02220@1)

G (320003@1) D/F# (200232@1) Bm (x24432@1) A (x02220@1) G (320003@1) G/F#And (320002@1)if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
Em (022000@1) D/F# (200232@1) Asus4 (x02230@1)AI'd (x02220@1)never ask for anything again

D (xx0232@1) D/F# (200232@1) G (320003@1) C#dimThat (3423xx@1)just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
D (xx0232@1) D/F# (200232@1) G (320003@1) A (x02220@1) DSome (xx0232@1)of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
D (xx0232@1) D/F# (200232@1) G (320003@1) AShe (x02220@1)wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
D (xx0232@1) D/C# (x40232@1)D/B (x20232@1) A (x02220@1)
And I could tell that time had changed me
Em (022000@1) AIn (x02220@1)her eyes too it seemed
G (320003@1) D/F#We (200232@1)tried to talk about the old days
Bm (x24432@1) A (x02220@1) G (320003@1) G/f#
There wasn't much we could recall
Em (022000@1) D/F# (200232@1) Asus4 (x02230@1)AI (x02220@1)guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all
G (320003@1) D/F# (200232@1) BmAnd (x24432@1)as she walked away I looked at my wife
Em (022000@1) D/F#And (200232@1)then and there I thanked the good Lord
G (320003@1) Asus4 (x02230@1)AFor (x02220@1)the gifts in my life
