[Verse 1]
E                                 
I'm glad I had the nerve to talk 
      A2   E
to you that day
A               E           B   
I could just as easily have let 
        G#m
you get away
E               A2 E    C#m     
In that crowded airport far from
 G#m     A
 my home town
A                E                
If I had lost my courage then you 
G#m7     B  A
wouldn't be around
A                  E
I'm glad I had the nerve

[Verse 2]
E                                 
And I'm glad he had the nerve to 
          A2   E
get down on his knees
A                     E           
And say I bought this ring for you
 B                 G#m
 won't you wear it please
E                     A2  E     
My daddy sure touched something 
      C#m     G#m   A
in my momma's heart somehow.
A            E               
If he hadn't I sure wouldn't 
G#m7    B        A
be here with you now
A                   E
I'm glad he had the nerve

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
    E                             
I'm glad he had the nerve to sail 
A2     E
across the sea
   A                 E            
My great-grandaddy's great-grandpa
    B               G#m
 in eighteen thirty-three
   E             A2 E          
He met an Indian maiden in the 
C#m   G#m      A
Smoky Mountain mist
A              E                 
If they hadn't crossed that line 
G#m7    B   A
I would not exist
A                     E
I'm glad they had the nerve

[Verse 5]
E                                 
And I'm glad He had the nerve 
          A2   E
while staring into space
   A            E       B         
To give this universe a time and a
 G#m
 place
E             A2 E       C#m  
With one tiny atom or an Adam 
G#m    A
and an Eve
A                E         G#m7 
However you look at it whatever 
B   A
you believe
A                   E
I'm glad He had the nerve

[Chorus]
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                                 
And I'm glad I had the nerve to 
          A2   E
talk to you that day
