[Verse 1]
D
Just the other night,
D/F#         G
    at a hometown football game
   D         A/C#      Bm
My wife and I    ran into
Bm/A Em                     A
    my old high school flame
    G              F#m
And as I introduced   them,
        Bm         A     G D/F#
the past  came back to me
           Em                D/F#          G
And I couldn't help but think    of the way things used
  Asus4
to     be
A
D               D/F#         G
 She was the one    that I'd wanted for all times
        D         A/C#         Bm  Bm/A        Em
And each night I'd    spend prayin'    that God  would make
        A
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#          Asus4
I'd never ask for anything again

[Chorus]
A                  D  F#m      G            Asus4
 Sometimes I thank God   for unanswered prayers
  D      A/C#           Bm  Bm/A       Em          A
Remember when you're talkin'    to the man upstairs
                D             D7           G
And just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't
    E7
care
        D                   Bm
Some of God's greatest gifts
Em        A          D  D/F#
  are unanswered prayers

[Verse 2]
G Asus4
A    D                  D/F#         G
 She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
            D             A/C#           Bm
And I could tell that time    had changed  me,
Bm/A   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#
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin',
     Asus4   A
after     all

[Bridge]
    G
And as she walked away, well,
  F#m          Bm
I looked at my wife
             Em                      D/F#
And then and there I thanked the good    Lord,
        G               Asus4
for the gifts in my life

[Chorus]
A                  D  F#m      G            Asus4
 Sometimes I thank God   for unanswered prayers
  D      A/C#           Bm  Bm/A       Em          A
Remember when you're talkin'    to the man upstairs
                D             D7           G
And just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't
    E7
care
        D                   Bm
Some of God's greatest gifts
Em        A
  are unanswered...
        D
Some of God's greatest gifts,
Bm            Em        A
  are all too often unanswered...
        D
Some of God's greatest gifts,
Bm Em        A          D  D/F# G Asus4 A D
     are unanswered prayers
