Garth Brooks-Unanswered Prayers Live
INTRO: D D/F# G A
D D/F# G D
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 D/F#
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
Em D/F# G A
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be
D D/F# G D
She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
D A Bm Em A
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
G F#m Bm A G D/F#
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
Em D/F# A
I'd never ask for anything again
CHORUS:
D D/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 Bm G
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
D A D G A D
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
A D G A
D D/F# G D
She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
D A Bm
And I could tell that time had changed me
Em A
In her eyes too it seemed
G F#m
We tried to talk about the old days
Bm A G D/F#
There wasn't much we could recall
Em D/F# 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 D/F#
And then and there I thanked the good Lord
G A
For the gifts in my life
CHORUS:
D D/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 Bm G
That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care
D A D G A
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered...
D A D G A
Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
D A D G A D
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
