Unanswered Prayers

[D]Just the other [D/F#]night and a hom[G]etown football g[D]ame
My [D]wife and [A]I ran i[Bm]nto [Em]my old high school [A]flame
And [G]as I intro[F#m]duced them the [Bm]past came b[A]ack to [G]me              [D/F#]
And I [Em]couldn't help but [D/F#]think of the w[G]ay things used to b[A]e

[D]She was the o[D/F#]ne that I'd wan[G]ted for all ti[D]mes
And [D]each night I[A]'d spend pr[Bm]ayin' that [Em]God would make her m[A]ine
And [G]if he'd only [F#m]grant me this [Bm]wish I wished[A] back t[G]hen      [D/F#]
I'd [Em]never ask for [D/F#]anything a[A]gain

Sometimes I tha[D]nk [D/F#]God for [G]unanswered pra[A]yers
Reme[D]mber w[A]hen you're ta[Bm]lkin' to the m[Em]an upstai[A]rs
That just be[D]cause he doesn't a[F#m]nswer doesn't m[Bm]ean he don't ca[G]re

[D]She wasn't quite the [D/F#]angel that I reme[G]mbered in my dr[D]eams
And I could [D]tell that t[A]ime had ch[Bm]anged me
In [Em]her eyes too it [A]seemed
We tried to [G]talk about the [F#m]old days
There wasn't [Bm]much we co[A]uld rec[G]all           [D/F#]
I guess the [Em]Lord knows what he's [D/F#]doin' after a[A]ll

And [G]as she walked away I [F#m]looked at my [Bm]wife
And then and [Em]there I thanked the [D/F#]good Lord
For the [G]gifts in my [A]life

Sometimes I thank [D]God[D/F#] for unan[G]swered prayers[A]
Reme[D]mber wh[A]en you're tal[Bm]kin' to the [Em]man upsta[A]irs
That just be[D]cause he may not [F#m]answer doesn't m[Bm]ean he don't ca[G]re
