Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G](Karen[D][G][D]
Taylor-Good Jason Blume)
I knew [G]all the an[D]swers
[G]The way my life [D]should go
[G]And when I used to say [C]my pray[G]ers
I would tell God [D]so
It [A]seemed He wasn't listening
I [Bm]thought He didn't [G]care
But lookin' [Em]back
[D]It's plain to see
[A]He was always there

[Verse 2]
'Cause [G]I p[D]rayed f[A]or strength
And I got [D]pain that made me [G]strong
I prayed for cour[A]age
And got [G]fear to [D]overcome
When [G]I prayed for faith
[A]My empty heart bro[D]ught me to my kne[G]es
I [Em]don't always get what I want
[A]I get what I nee[G]d
[D][G]

[Verse 3]
I'm [D]not sayin' [G]that it's [D]easy
[G]Or that it doesn't [D]hurt
[G]When nothing seems to go my way
[D]Nothing seem[G]s to [D]work
These [A]days I'm getting better
At [Bm]goin' with [G]the flow
[Em]Accepting that some[D]times the answer
To a [A]prayer is no

[Verse 4]
'Cause [G]I prayed for strength
[A]And I got pai[D]n that made me [G]strong
I prayed for cour[A]age
And got [G]fear to overcome
[D]When I p[G]rayed for faith
[A]My empty heart bro[D]ught me to my kne[G]es
I [Em]don't always get what I want
[A]I get what I nee[G]d[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]Every time I've had a door
slammed [D]in my face
In [Em]time a better [D]one was opened [G]in its [A]place

[Verse 6]
[G]I prayed f[A]or strength
And I got [D]pain that made [G]me strong
I prayed for cour[A]age
And got [G]fear to [D]overcome
When [G]I prayed for faith
[A]My empty heart bro[D]ught me to my kne[G]es
I [Em]don't always get what I want
[A]I get what I nee[G]d[D]

[Verse 7]
Oh I [Em]don't always get what I [Asus4]want[A]
I get what I [G]need

[Outro 1]
[D][G][D]
