INTRO:  D   D/F#   G   Asus  A

D               D/F#           G              A
Just the other night and a hometown football game
   D        D/C#  D/B A Em                 A
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
    G         D/F#            Bm        A        G     G/F#
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
      Em                D/F#          G             Asus   A
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be

D            D/F#            G             A
She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
    D          D/C#       D/B A       Em                  A                    
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
    G            D/F#           Bm          A       G    G/F#
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
    Em            D/F#      Asus  A
I'd never ask for anything again

CHORUS:
                  D ^D/F#      G             A
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
    D    D/C#       D/B  A          Em     A
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
            D                D/F#            G             C#dim
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
        D              D/F#    G         A         D
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

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

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

CHORUS:
                  D ^D/F#      G             A
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
    D    D/C#       D/B  A          Em     A
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
            D                D/F#            G             C#dim
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
        D              D/F#    G         A         D
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

        D              D/F#    G         A         D
Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
        D              D/F#    G         A         D 
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
