[F] Somehow [Em] Virginia [Am] stole any [F] weight, the Catholic [G] girl stopped [C] much too [F] late.
Ah, but sooner [G] or later it [Am] comes down [F] to fate, how might as [G] well will be the one.
[F] Well they showed you [G] the statue, [Am] told you to pray, [F] the guilty [Em] temple [C] and locked you away.
[F] Ah, but they never told you [Am] the price that you paid, [F] the things that you might [G] have done.
Only the good [C] die [F] young, that's [G] what I said.
[C] Only the good [F] die young, only [G] the good die [C] young.
You [F] might have heard I run [F] with a dangerous crowd, we ain't too pretty, [G] we ain't [C] too proud.
[F] You might be laughing [Am] a bit too loud, [F] ah, but that never hurt [G] no one.
So [F] come on Virginia, [Em] show [Am] me a sign, [F] send up a signal, [C] I'll throw you the line.
[F] Stained [G] glass curtain [Am] you're hiding [F] behind, never lets [G] in the sun.
Darling, only the good [C] die [F] young.
Woah, [G] woah, woah, woah, woah, [C] woah.
I said only the good [F] die young, [G] only the good die [C] young.
[G] You got a nice white [F] dress and a party on your [C] confirmation.
You [D] got a brand new soul, [F] and a cross of gold.
[G] But Virginia, they didn't [F] give you quite enough [C] information.
_ You [D] didn't count on me, you were [Dm] counting on your rosary.
[Dm] [C] Woah, woah, [F] woah, woah, woah.
They say there's a heaven [G] for those [Am] who wait.
[F] Some say it's [Em] better that I [C] say it ain't.
[F] I'd rather laugh with the [Em] sinners than cry [Am] with the saints.
[F] The sinners are much [G] more fun.
You know that [C] only the good die [F] young.
Woah, [G] baby.
_ [C] _ Only the good [F] die young, [G] only the good die [C] young.
[G] You _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [G]
know that all [F] that I could give you was a [C] reputation.
Oh, [D] she never cared for me.
Did she [Dm] ever say a prayer for [B] me?
[G] Woah, woah, [F] woah, woah, woah.
Come out, come out, come [G] out.
Virginia [Am] don't let [F] me wait.
She's a Catholic [G] girl, [C] starts much [F] too late.
But sooner or later, [G] it comes [Am] down to pace.
[F] I might as well be [G] the one.
[Gm] You know that [C] only the good die young.
[F] _ [G] Yes, baby.
[C]
You know that only the good die [F] young, only [G] the good die [C] young.
Only the good, [F] only [G] the good [C] die young.
Only the good, [F] _ [G] only [C] _
the good [F] die _ [G] _ [C] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ _
young.
