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] God doesn't care and He jus[G]t smiled
And said my [A]child
Ma[D]ke no mistake
[A]Every prayer you pray
Get's a[G]nswered
Even t[B]hou[A]gh
[G]Sometimes the [A]answer
Is [D]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
And through the sm[G]okey air
I saw grandpa s[A]tandin' there
Ma[D]ke no mistake
[A]Every prayer you pray gets an[G]swered
Even [B]thou[A]gh
[G]Sometimes
The a[A]nswer is [D]no
When I t[D]hink of all the a[A]nswers in my[G] life
I would have to sa[D]y
There's [A]no [G]doubt
It was always for the [D]best
When I d[G]idn't get my [D]wa[A]y
[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
To k[A]eep Him hangin on
And when He pa[G]ssed away
In my mind I h[A]eard Him [G]say
M[D]ake no mistake
[A]Every prayer you pray gets a[G]nswered
Even [B]tho[A]ugh
[G]Sometimes the a[A]nswer
Is [D]no
