[Verse 1]
---------------------
F                       G       Am
Come out Virginia, don't let me wait
    F                        G    C
You Catholic girls start much too late
        F                       G        Am
Aw, but sooner or later it comes down to fate
  F                       G
I might as well be the one
                 F                  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                            G         Am
But they never told you the price that you pay
    F                              G
For things that you might have done
                  C    F
Only the good die young

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
                  G
That's what I said
C                       F
 Only the good die young
                 G
Only the good die    young

[Verse 2]
---------------------
C                    F                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
        F                G     Am
So come on Virginia, show me a sign
F                      G             C
Send up a signal, I'll throw you the line
    F                             G      Am
The stainedglass curtain you're hiding behind
F                    G
Never lets in the sun
                          C    F  G
Darling only the good die young oh

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
C                                  F
 I tell you only the good die young
              G
Only the good die young

[Interlude (1)]
---------------------
C          G                   F                     C
 You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
          D7
You got a brand new soul
      F
And a cross of gold
       G                             F              C
But Virginia, they didn't give you quite enough information
                D7
You didn't count  on me
                               F      C/E G/D Am/C
When you were counting on your rosary Oh 

[Verse 3]
---------------------
G    F                          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                              G         Am
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
    F                        G
The sinners are much more fun
                                C    F       G
You know that only the good die young oh babe

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
C                            C     F
 I tell you only the good die young
                 G     C
Only the good die    young

           G                              F                    C
Said, your mother told you "All that I could give you was a reputation."
              D7
Aw, she never cared for me
                       F              C/E G/D
But did she ever say a prayer for me? oh 
Am/C

[Verse 4]
---------------------
G     F                      G           Am
Come out, come out, come out Virginia, don't  let me wait
F                  G      C            F
 You Catholic girls start much too late
                            G     Am
But sooner or later it comes down to fate
  F
I might as well be the one
G
                                     C
You know that only the good die young

[Chorus (4)]
---------------------
F           G
 Tell you babe
C                                     F
 You know that only the good die young
                 G
Only the good die    young
C
 Only the good
