On my fifth birthday, I got so upset,
D A
About the brand new bike, that I didn't get.
A G
I'd prayed my heart out, and it didn't seem fair,
D A
I told my grandpa, I guess God doesn't care,
G A

Make no mistake, every prayer you pray,
G G#º
gets answered, even though,
D A D
sometimes, the answer is no.

Five years later, out behind the shed,
D A
With a stolen pack of grandpa's cigarettes,
A G
I struck a match, and held that first one to my lips,
D A
And prayed to God please let me get away with this,
G A
And through the smoky air, I saw grandpa standing there.
D A/C# Bm A
Make no mistake, every prayer you pray,

gets answered, even though,
D A D
sometimes, the answer is no.

When I didn't get my way.

Grandpa got older, like grandpas do,
D A
His health was failing, and I guess I knew,
A G
That it'd be best if he was called on hold,
D A
But selfishly I prayed that God would keep him hanging on,
G A
And when he passed away, in my mind I heard him say.
D A/C# Bm A
Make no mistake, every prayer you pray,
G G#º
gets answered, even though,
D A Bm C9
sometimes, the answer is no.
D A DA
Sometimes, the answer, is no.
