What I Need Chords

(ver. 2)
Collin Raye
(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
