[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G                              C
 We took Ventura Highway to the Sunshine State
           G                                   D
 Where they raised their hands to Jesus as they passed the plate
        Em           D/F#            C
 Oh, and every day we spent there was Valentine's day
          Am            D          G
 There's a new team, out in Queens, 8teen
[Verse 2]
        G                               C
 And the girl made in Japan was made for me to hold
     G                                 D
 When Vincent lent an ear the night the thunder rolled
        Em             D/F#         C
 And the ride we took together was a rodeo
    Am      D            G    C
 Big dreams, six strings, 8teen
[Chorus]
        Em            D/F#          C
 And for everyone born 8teen runnin' wild and free
         G                              D
 From the pearly gates of Heaven and the fiery sea
          Em                 D/F#                C
 Know that each will teach of 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                            C
 And we heard about the letters kept beside his bed
           G                             D
 And how he never could forgive her or the words she said
          Em           D/F#             C
 That will forever be enshrined and underlined in red
     Am             D         G
 Such sad scenes, so pristine, 8teen
[Verse 4]
   G                                  C
 He rode that silver bullet 'cross the borderline
        G                             D
 There beneath the maple leaf inside a Memphis sky
        Em                  D              C
 And the song he hummed that night moves me every time
Am            D         G      C
 Fourteen, and so green, 8teen
[Chorus]
        Em            D/F#          C
 And for everyone born 8teen runnin' wild and free
         G                              D
 From the pearly gates of Heaven and the fiery sea
          Em                 D/F#                C
 Know that each will teach of 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#          C
 And for everyone born 8teen runnin' wild and free
         G                              D
 From the pearly gates of Heaven and the fiery sea
          Em                 D/F#                C
 Know that each will teach of 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
[Outro]                      [to end]
   C              G    C      G C
 It all adds up to 8teen
