Garth Brooks – Unanswered Prayers chords

C                          FJust the other night and a hometown football game
   C              Am   D7                 GMy wife and I ran into my old high school flame
    F         E              Am                 FAnd as I introduced them the past came back to me
      D7                E            F                  GAnd I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be

C                        FShe was the one that I'd wanted for all times
    C                    Am           D7                 GAnd each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
    F            E           Am                 FAnd if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
    D7            E        GI'd never ask for anything again

CHORUS:
                  C       F             GSometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
    C                   Am          D7       GRemember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
            F                E              Am             FThat just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
        C              F    G                  CSome of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

C                                     FShe wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
            C                  AmAnd I could tell that time had changed me
   D7              GIn her eyes too it seemed
            F              E  We tried to talk about the old days
             Am              FThere wasn't much we could recall
            D7                   E         GI guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all

    F                    E            AmAnd as she walked away I looked at my wife
             D7                  EAnd then and there I thanked the good Lord
        F           GFor the gifts in my life

CHORUS:
                  C       F             GSometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
    C                   Am          D7       GRemember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
            F                C              Am             FThat just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care
        C              F    GSome of God's greatest gifts are unanswered...
        C              F    GSome of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
        C              F    G                  CSome of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
