Unanswered Prayers Cifras

[Intro]
Em   D/F#   G   A
 
 
[Verse 1]
D              D/F#        G
Just the other night at a hometown football game
   D       A/C#    Bm A Em                 A
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
    G          F#m            Bm         A      G
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
She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
    D          A/C#       Bm   A       Em                 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            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/C#           Bm  A       Em       A
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
            D                D7/F#            G             E7
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
        D              Bm     Em         A         D F#m G A
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                     D/F#             G
She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
            D         A/C#      Bm       A
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    F#m
There wasn't much we could recall
            Em                   D/F#        A
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all
 
 
[Bridge]
    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/C#           Bm  A       Em       A
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
            D                D7/F#            G             E7
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
        D              Bm     Em         A
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
        D              Bm                Em          A
Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
        D              Bm   Em          A              D F#m G A D
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
