[Verse 1]
G                              C
 We took Ventura Highway to the 
Sunshine State
           G                     
 Where they raised their hands to 
              D
Jesus as they passed the plate
        Em           D/F#         
 Oh, and every day we spent there 
   C
was Valentine's day
          Am            D          
 There's a new team, out in Queens, 
G
8teen


[Verse 2]
        G                          
 And the girl made in Japan was 
     C
made for me to hold
     G                             
 When Vincent lent an ear the night
    D
 the thunder rolled
        Em             D/F#       
 And the ride we took together was
  C
 a rodeo
    Am      D            G    C
 Big dreams, six strings, 8teen


[Chorus]
        Em            D/F#        
 And for everyone born 8teen 
  C
runnin' wild and free
         G                         
 From the pearly gates of Heaven 
     D
and the fiery sea
          Em                 
 Know that each will teach of 
D/F#                C
passage through the trinity
                   Am
 God's gift runneth o’er my cup
                          D
 Call it a blessing or you call it 
luck
   C              G      C
 It all adds up to 8teen

[Verse 3]
       G                           
 And we heard about the letters 
 C
kept beside his bed
           G                       
 And how he never could forgive her
      D
 or the words she said
          Em           D/F#       
 That will forever be enshrined 
      C
and underlined in red
     Am             D         G
 Such sad scenes, so pristine, 8teen


[Verse 4]
   G                               
 He rode that silver bullet 'cross 
   C
the borderline
        G                          
 There beneath the maple leaf 
   D
inside a Memphis sky
        Em                  D     
 And the song he hummed that night
         C
 moves me every time
Am            D         G      C
 Fourteen, and so green, 8teen


[Chorus]
        Em            D/F#        
 And for everyone born 8teen 
  C
runnin' wild and free
         G                         
 From the pearly gates of Heaven 
     D
and the fiery sea
          Em                 
 Know that each will teach of 
D/F#                C
passage through the trinity
                   Am
 God's gift runneth o’er my cup
                          D
 Call it a blessing or you call it 
luck
   C              G
 It all adds up to 8teen


[Bridge]
Cm                    G
 Forever frozen now in time
                       Cm
 The night the miracle occurred
                           G
 They walked on water in my mind
      Em
 James Dean and Uncle Herb
                          A     Am
 Though we never heard the words
   D              G
 It all adds up to 8teen


[Chorus]
        Em            D/F#        
 And for everyone born 8teen 
  C
runnin' wild and free
         G                         
 From the pearly gates of Heaven 
     D
and the fiery sea
          Em                 
 Know that each will teach of 
D/F#                C
passage through the trinity
                   Am
 God's gift runneth o’er my cup
                          D
 Call it a blessing or you call it 
luck
   C              G     C
 It all adds up to 8teen
