[Verse 1]
G
Ever since I was ten
C
It was me and my friends
Playing touch football in the driveway
G
Yeah we would pretend
C
It was ten seconds left
Super Bowl hail Mary on the last play
G
So when that coach said
C
"You want a scholarship?"
I couldn't help but cry
G
But after one year
And two surgeries
C N.C.
It wasn't meant to be
[Chorus]
G
Turns out it was a good thing that it didn't work out
C
'Cause I wouldn't be where I am right now
G
It's a good thing God closed the door
C
He wanted to give me so much more
G
Than I ever thought I wanted
C
Turns out that he was only getting started
G
Turning all my pain
C
And all my broken dreams
G
Into a good thing
[Verse 2]
G
We were high school flames
C
I planned on changing her name
Having kids and a house down in Denver
G
But along the way
C
Started taking separate ways
And we just couldn't make it better
G C
I asked God what I did to deserve this
G C
But little did I know he was helping me grow so I could find my person
[Chorus]
G
It was a good thing that it didn't work out
C
'Cause I wouldn't be where I am right now
G
It's a good thing God closed the door
C
He wanted to give me so much more
G
Than I ever thought I wanted
C
Turns out that he was only getting started
G
Turning all my pain
C
And all my broken dreams
G C
Into a good thing
G C
Oh into a good thing
[Bridge]
G
I had to hang up my cleats, and she broke my heart
C
What I thought was the end was just the start
G
I never got that job so picked up that guitar
C
Moved to Tennessee to write some songs
G
It was a good thing (it was a good thing,
C
it was a good thing)
G
Mmm it was a good thing (it was a good thing)
C
Ooo yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
G
Turns out it was a good thing that it didn't work out
C
'Cause I wouldn't be where I am right now
G
It's a good thing God closed the door
C
He wanted to give me so much more
G
Than I ever wanted
C
Turns out that he was only getting started
G
Turning all my pain
C
And all my broken dreams
G C
Into a good thing
G C
Mmm into a good thing
