Tabbed by: Amanda P.
INTRO:  D D/F# G A


D              D/F#           G               D
Just the other night and a hometown football game
   D        A      Bm  Em                 A
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
    G         F#m            Bm         A      G               D/F#
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             D
She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
    D           A          Bm         Em                  A
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
    G            F#m           Bm           A      G        D/F#
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            Bm            Em       A
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
            D                 F#m            Bm             G
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
        D              A   D  G       A           D
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

A D G A 

D                    D/F#             G              D
She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
            D          A         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        A      G             D/F#
There wasn't much we could recall
            Em                   D/F#         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                  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            Bm          Em       A
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
            D                F#m             Bm             G
That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care
        D              A   D  G      A
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered...
        D              A   D  G                    A
Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
        D              A   D  G      A         D
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
