Unanswered Prayers

[Em]    [F#m]    [G]    [A]

J[D]ust the other night and a ho[G]metown football game

M[D]y wife and I ran[Bm] into [Em]my old high school f[A]lame

A[G]nd as I int[F#m]roduced them the[Bm] past came back to [G]me

A[Em]nd I couldn't help [F#m]but think of t[G]he way things used t[A]o be

S[D]he was the one that I'd wa[G]nted for all times

A[D]nd each night I'd spen[Bm]d prayin' that[Em] God would make her [A]mine

A[G]nd if he'd onl[F#m]y grant me this[Bm] wish I wished back [G]then

I[Em]'d never ask fo[F#m]r anything[A] again

S[D]ometimes [G]I thank God for[A] unanswered prayers

R[D]emember when you're t[Bm]alkin' to the[Em] man upsta[A]irs

T[D]hat just because h[F#m]e doesn't answer[G] doesn't mean h[Bm]e don't care

S[D]ome of God's gre[A]atest [G]gifts are unanswered[D] prayers

S[D]he wasn't quite the angel that I rememb[G]ered in my dreams

A[D]nd I could tell that[Bm] time had changed me

I[Em]n her eyes too it[A] seemed

W[G]e tried to talk [F#m]about the old days

T[Bm]here wasn't much [G]we could recall

I[Em] guess the Lord knows [F#m]what he's doi[A]n' after all

A[G]nd as she walked away [F#m]I looked at my[Bm] wife

A[Em]nd then and there I t[F#m]hanked the good Lord

F[G]or the gifts [A]in my life

S[D]ometimes [G]I thank God for[A] unanswered prayers

R[D]emember when you're t[Bm]alkin' to the[Em] man upsta[A]irs

T[D]hat just because h[F#m]e may not answer[G] doesn't mean h[Bm]e don't care
