Unanswered Prayers Garth Brooks
Performed by Garth Brooks
Composed by Pat Alger, Larry Bastian, Garth Brooks
From "No Fences"
[D]Just the other night at a [G]hometown football game
My[D] wife and I ran into [Em7]my old high school [A]flame
And[G] as I intr[F#m]oduced them the [Bm]past came back to [G]me
And I[Em] couldn't h[D]elp but think[G] of the way things [A]used to be
[D]She was the one that I [G]wanted for all times
And[D] each night I spent praying [Em7]God would make her [A]mine
And[G] if He'd only [F#m]grant me this [Bm]wish I'd wished back [G]then
I'd[Em] never ask for a[D]nything a[G]gain[A]
CHORUS
Sometimes I thank[D] God for[G] unanswered[Em] prayer[A]s
R[D]emember when you're[Bm] talking to the[Em] man up[A]stairs
And just b[D]ecause He doesn't[D7] answer doesn't[G] mean He don't[E7] care (last time CODA)
Some of[D] God's greatest[Bm7] gif[Em7]ts are u[A]nanswered[D] prayers
[D]She wasn't quite the angel that I re[G]membered in my dreams
[D]I could tell that time had changed me, in [Em7]her eyes too it [A]seemed
We tried to[G] talk about the[F#m] old days there wasn't[Bm] much we
could re[G]call
I guess the[Em] Lord knows what he's[D] doing after[G] all[A]
And[G] as she walked away and I[F#m] looked at my[Bm] wife and
Then and[Em] there I thanked the[D] good Lord for the[G] gifts in my[A] life CHORUS
CODA
Some of[D] God's greatest[Bm7] gif[Em7]ts are u[A]nanswered
Some of[D] God's greatest[Bm7] gifts are all too[Em7] often [A7]unanswered
Some of[D] God's greatest[Bm7] gif[Em7]ts are u[A]nanswered[D] prayers
