Verse

F                  C/G          Am

Come out Virginia, don't let 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

Well, they showed you a statue, 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

Chorus

C   F

Only the good die young

                  G  C

That's what I said

              C   F

Only the good die young

              G        C

Only the good die young

Verse

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                   C/G     Am

We might be laughing a bit too loud

    F                  G

But that never hurt no one

        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

Chorus

C     F

Darlin', only the good die young

                         G   C

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

                        C   F

I tell ya only the good die young

              G        C

Only the good die young

Bridge

G                      F                     C

You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation

          D                       F

You got a brand new soul, and a cross of gold

       G                           F                  C

But Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information

            D                                         F

You didn't count on me when you were counting on your rosary

G  F    C/E

Oh woah woah

Verse

F                        C/G            Am

They 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                           C/G          Am

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints

    F                     G

The sinners are much more fun

Chorus

C     F

You know that only the good die young

            G   C

Oh woah, baby

                        C   F

I tell ya only the good die young

              G       C

Only the good die young

Instrumental

G  F  C    D    F

Bridge

G                                F                  C

You say your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation

D

Aww, she never cared for me

F

But did she ever say a prayer for me?

G  F    C/E

Oh woah woah

Verse

F                        C/G          Am

Come out, come out, come out Virginia, don't let me wait,

F              G           C

  You Catholic girls start much too late

F                   C/G           Am

 Sooner or later it comes down to fate

  F                    G

I might as well be the one

                                 C     F

You know that only the good die young
