F C/G Am
Come out Virginia, don't let me me wait
F G C
You Catholic girls start much too late
F C/G Am
But sooner or later it comes down to fate
F G
I might as well be the one
F C/G Am
They showed you a statue and told you to pray
F G C
They built you a temple and locked you away
F C/G Am
But they never told you the price that you pay
F G
For things that you might have done.....
G G C F G
For only the good die young that's what I said
C C F G
Only the good die young only the good die young
C F C/G Am
You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
F G C
We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud
F G Am
We might be laughing a bit too loud
F G
But that never hurt no one
G F C/G Am
So come on Virginia show me a sign
F G C
Send up a signal I'll throw you the line
F C/G Am
The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
F G
Never lets in the sun
G G C F G
Darlin only the good die young woh - oh
C C F G
Only the good die young only the good die young
C G F C
You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
C D D F
You got a brand new soul And a cross of gold
F G F C
But Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information
C D D F
You didn't count on me When you were counting on your rosary
C Dm C G
Oh oh oh And_they
F C/G Am
Say there's a heaven for those who will wait
F G C
Some say it's better but I say it ain't
F G Am
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
F
The sinners are much more fun...
G G C F G
You know only the good die young that's what I say
C C F G C
Only the good die young only the good die young
