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