INTRO: Em F#m G A

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

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

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