Unanswered Prayers Chords

   
C                          F
Just the other night and a hometown football game
   C              Am   D7                 G
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
    F         E              Am                 F
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
      D7                E            F                  G
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be

C                        F
She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
    C                    Am           D7                 G
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
    F            E           Am                 F
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
    D7            E        G
I'd never ask for anything again

CHORUS:
                  C       F             G
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
    C                   Am          D7       G
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
            F                E              Am             F
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
        C              F    G                  C
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

C                                     F
She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
            C                  Am
And I could tell that time had changed me
   D7              G
In her eyes too it seemed
            F              E  
We tried to talk about the old days
             Am              F
There wasn't much we could recall
            D7                   E         G
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all

    F                    E            Am
And as she walked away I looked at my wife
             D7                  E
And then and there I thanked the good Lord
        F           G
For the gifts in my life

CHORUS:
                  C       F             G
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
    C                   Am          D7       G
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
            F                C              Am             F
That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care
        C              F    G
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered...
        C              F    G
Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
        C              F    G                  C
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
