Unanswered Prayers - Garth Brooks
[Intro]
[Em] [D] [G] [A]
[Verse 1]
[D] Just the other night at a [G] hometown football game
My [D] wife and I ran [Bm] into [A] my [Em] old high school [A] flame
And [G] as I intro[F#m]duced them the [Bm] past came [A] back to [G] me
And I [Em] couldn't help but [D] think of the [G] way things used to [A] be
[D] She was the one that I'd [G] wanted for all times
And [D] each night [A] I'd spend [Bm] prayin' [A] that God [Em] would make her [A] mine
And [G] if he'd only [F#m] grant me this [Bm] wish I wis[A]hed back [G] then [F#m]
I'd [Em] never ask for [D] anything [A] again
|[Chorus]
|Sometimes I thank [D] God for una[G]nswered prayer[A]s
|Remem[D]ber [A] when you're [Bm] talkin' [A] to the [Em] man up[A]stairs
|That just [D] because he doesn't answer doesn't [G] mean he don't [E] care
|Some of [D] God's greatest [Bm] gifts [Em] are una[A]nswered [D] prayers [F#m] [G] [A]
[Verse 2]
[D] She wasn't quite the angel that I remem[G]bered in my dreams
And I could [D] tell that [A] time had [Bm] changed [A] 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 [A] could [G] recall [F#m]
I guess the [Em] Lord knows what he's [D] doin' after [A] all
[Bridge]
And [G] as she walked away I [F#m] looked at my [Bm] wife
And then and [Em] there I thanked the [D] good Lord
For the [G] gifts in my [A] life
|[Chorus]
|Sometimes I thank [D] God for una[G]nswered prayer[A]s
|Re[D]member [A] when you're [Bm] talkin' [A] to the [Em] man up[A]stairs
|That just [D] because he doesn't answer doesn't [G] mean he don't [E] care
|Some of [D] God's greatest [Bm] gifts [Em] are unanswered [A] prayers
Outro:
Some of [D] God's greatest [Bm] gifts are all too [Em] often unansw[A]ered...
Some of [D] God's greatest [Bm] gifts [Em] are unanswered [A] prayers [D] [F#m] [G] [A] [D]
