Written by Pat Alger/Larry Bastian/Garth Brooks

	  		INTRO:    D   G/F#   G  Asus4  A 
 
D                G/F#         G  
Just the other night and a hometown football game     
     D     A      Bm   Em                 A  
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame      
G         F#m            Bm        A        G   F#m 
And as I introduced them the past came back to me 
       Em                G/F#          G                 Asus4 A  
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be 
 
   
D            G/F#             G  
She was the one that I'd wanted for all times      
       D         A         Bm           Em                  A      
A And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine 
     G            F#m           Bm      A          G  F#m 
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then 
     Em            G/F#         Asus4    A 
A I'd never ask for anything again 
 
   
CHORUS: 
                  D G/F#   G             A  
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers      
D         A          Bm             Em       A  
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs 
             D                F#m            G             Ab(dim)  
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care 
         D             G/F#  G      A       D      G/F#  G  Asus4 A 
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers 
 
   
      D              G/F#         G  
She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams 
             D         A       Bm           Em                 A  
And I could tell that time had changed me  In her eyes too it seemed  
             G             F#m                   Bm      A        G   F#m 
We tried to talk about the old days There wasn't much we could recall 
       Em                G/F#                 Asus4   A  
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all 
    G                    F#m          Bm  
And as she walked away I looked at my wife 
              Em                  F#m  
And then and there I thanked the good Lord 
         G           Asus    A  
For the gifts in my life   
 
 
CHORUS: 
                  D G/F#   G             A  
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers 
D         A          Bm             Em       A  
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs 
             D                F#m            G             Ab(dim)  
That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care 
         D             G/F#  G      A             
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered... 
         D             G/F#  G                    A                     
Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered... 
         D             G/F#  G      A       D      G/F#  G  Asus4 A D 
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
