Chords with lyrics

(Karen Taylor-Good/Jason Blume)
E MajorE    A augmentedA   E MajorE
I knew all the answers
E MajorE     A augmentedA      E MajorE
The way my life should go
A augmentedA         Asus4Asus4  A augmentedA
And when I used to say my prayers
E MajorE    A augmentedA    E MajorE
I would tell God so
BB
It seemed He wasn't listening
C# minorC#m         A augmentedA
I thought He didn't care
F# minorF#m
But lookin' back
   E MajorE
It's plain to see
BB
He was always there

Chorus
    A augmentedA        BB
'Cause I prayed for strength
      E MajorE         A augmentedA
And I got pain that made me strong
F# minorF#m      BB
I prayed for courage
     A augmentedA     E MajorE
And got fear to overcome
   A augmentedA       BB
When I prayed for faith
         E MajorE       A augmentedA
My empty heart brought me to my knees
  F# minorF#m           BB
I don't always get what I want
       A augmentedA E MajorE
I get what I need

E MajorE       A augmentedA     E MajorE
I'm not sayin' that it's easy
E MajorE      A augmentedA   E MajorE
Or that it doesn't hurt
A augmentedA          Asus4Asus4  A augmentedA
When nothing seems to go my way
E MajorE     A augmentedA    E MajorE
Nothing seems to work
BB
These days I'm getting better
 C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
At goin' with the flow
F# minorF#m       E MajorE
Accepting that sometimes the answer
    BB
To a prayer is no

Chorus
    A augmentedA        BB
'Cause I prayed for strength
      E MajorE         A augmentedA
And I got pain that made me strong
F# minorF#m      BB
I prayed for courage
     A augmentedA     E MajorE
And got fear to overcome
   A augmentedA       BB
When I prayed for faith
         E MajorE       A augmentedA
My empty heart brought me to my knees
  F# minorF#m           BB
I don't always get what I want
       A augmentedA E MajorE
I get what I need

A augmentedA         BB        E MajorE
Every time I've had a door slammed in my face
  F# minorF#m             BB
In time a better one was opened in it's place

Chorus
 A augmentedA       BB
I prayed for strength
      E MajorE         A augmentedA
And I got pain that made me strong
F# minorF#m       BB
I prayed for courage
     A augmentedA     E MajorE
And got fear to overcome
    A augmentedA       BB
When I prayed for faith
         E MajorE        A augmentedA
My empty heart brought me to my knees
  F# minorF#m           BB
I don't always get what I want
       A augmentedA E MajorE
I get what I need
   F# minorF#m          BB
Oh I don't always get what I want
       A augmentedA E MajorE
