Chords

(Karen Taylor-Good/Jason Blume)
E        A     E
I knew all the answers

E          A           E
The way my life should go

A                  Asus4    A
And when I used to say my prayers

E        A       E
I would tell God so

B
It seemed He wasn't listening

C#m                  A
I thought He didn't care

F#m
But lookin' back

      E
It's plain to see

B
He was always there
Chorus
       A               B
'Cause I prayed for strength

            E                 A
And I got pain that made me strong

F#m            B
I prayed for courage

         A          E
And got fear to overcome

     A              B
When I prayed for faith

                  E              A
My empty heart brought me to my knees

   F#m                     B
I don't always get what I want

             A  E
I get what I need

E              A         E
I'm not sayin' that it's easy

E            A     E          
Or that it doesn't hurt

A                    Asus4   A
When nothing seems to go my way

E         A       E
Nothing seems to work

B
These days I'm getting better

  C#m              A
At goin' with the flow

F#m              E
Accepting that sometimes the answer

       B
To a prayer is no
Chorus
       A               B
'Cause I prayed for strength

            E                  A
And I got pain that made me strong

F#m            B
I prayed for courage

          A         E
And got fear to overcome

     A             B
When I prayed for faith

                  E              A
My empty heart brought me to my knees

   F#m                     B
I don't always get what I want

             A  E
I get what I need

A                 B                E
Every time I've had a door slammed in my face

    F#m                         B
In time a better one was opened in it's place
Chorus
 A             B
I prayed for strength

            E                 A
And I got pain that made me strong

F#m             B
I prayed for courage

         A         E
And got fear to overcome

       A             B
When I prayed for faith

                 E                A
My empty heart brought me to my knees

    F#m                     B
I don't always get what I want

             A  E
I get what I need

      F#m                    B
Oh I don't always get what I want

             A  E
I get what I need
