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
