  Intro: E

  

  E                                       A2   E

  I'm glad I had the nerve to talk to you that day

  A               E           B           G#m

  I could just as easily have let you get away

  E               A2 E    C#m      G#m     A

  In that crowded airport far from my home town

  A                E                G#m7     B  A

  If I had lost my courage then you wouldn't be around

  A                  E

  I'm glad I had the nerve

  

  E                                           A2   E

  And I'm glad he had the nerve to get down on his knees

  A                     E            B                 G#m

  And say I bought this ring for you won't you wear it please

  E                     A2  E           C#m     G#m   A

  My daddy sure touched something in my momma's heart somehow.

  A            E               G#m7    B        A

  If he hadn't I sure wouldn't be here with you now

  A                   E

  I'm glad he had the nerve

  

  E                     A

  Or I never would have lived like this

     E

  Or learned like this

     A

  Or laughed like this

     B

  Or loved like this

  

      E                             A2     E

  I'm glad he had the nerve to sail across the sea

     A                 E                B               G#m

  My great-grandaddy's great-grandpa in eighteen thirty-three

     E             A2 E          C#m   G#m      A

  He met an Indian maiden in the Smoky Mountain mist

  A              E                 G#m7    B   A

  If they hadn't crossed that line I would not exist

  A                     E

  I'm glad they had the nerve

  

  E                                           A2   E

  And I'm glad He had the nerve while staring into space

     A            E       B          G#m

  To give this universe a time and a place

  E             A2 E       C#m  G#m    A

  With one tiny atom or an Adam and an Eve

  A                E         G#m7 B   A

  However you look at it whatever you believe

  A                   E

  I'm glad He had the nerve

  

  E                      A

  Or we never would have lived like this

     E

  Or learned like this

     A

  Or laughed like this

     B

  Or loved like this

        A              E

  Thank God He had the nerve

  

  E                                           A2   E

  And I'm glad I had the nerve to talk to you that day
