Unanswered Prayers Chords & Lyrics by Garth Brooks
Unanswered Prayers
guitar chords lyrics
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
