INTRO: Em F#m G A D G Just the other night and a hometown football game D Bm Em A My wife and I ran into my old high school flame G F#m Bm G And as I introduced them the past came back to me Em F#m G A And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be D G She was the one that I'd wanted for all times D Bm Em A And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine G F#m Bm G And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then Em F#m A I'd never ask for anything again CHORUS: D G A Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers D Bm Em A Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs D F#m G Bm That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care D A G D Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers D G She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams D Bm 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 G There wasn't much we could recall Em F#m A I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all G F#m Bm And as she walked away I looked at my wife Em F#m And then and there I thanked the good Lord G A For the gifts in my life CHORUS: D G A Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers D Bm Em A Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs D F#m G Bm That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care D A G 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 D Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
