On my fifth birthday G I got so upset D About the brand new bike A that I didn't get A I'd prayed my heart out and it G didn't seem fair D I told my grandpa I guess A G God doesn't care and He just smiled A And said my child D Make no mistake A Every prayer you pray G Get's answered B A Even though G A Sometimes the answer D Is no A Five years later G Out behind the shed D With a stolen pack of A Granpa's ciggerets A I struck a match G And held that first one to my lips D And prayed to God please let me A Get away with this G And through the smokey air A I saw grandpa standin' there D Make no mistake A G Every prayer you pray gets answered B A Even though G Sometimes A D The answer is no D A G When I think of all the answers in my life D I would have to say A G There's no doubt D It was always for the best G D A When I didn't get my way D Well Grandpa got older A Like grandpas do G His health was feelin and I A Guess I knew A That It'd be best if He was G Called on home D But selfishly I prayed to God A To keep Him hangin on G And when He passed away A G In my mind I heard Him say D Make no mistake A G Every prayer you pray gets answered B A Even though G A Sometimes the answer D Is no
