[Verse 1]
C                       D       Em
Come out Virginia, don't let me wait
    C                        D    G
You Catholic girls start much too late
Aw,
    C                       D        Em
but sooner or later it comes down to fate
  C                       D/F#
I might as well be the one
                 C
Well, they showed you a statue,
    D       Em
told you to pray
     C                            D     G
They built you a temple and locked you away
    C                            D         Em
But they never told you the price that you pay
    C                              D/F#
For things that you might have done
                  G    C
Only the good die young

[Chorus]
                  D/F#
That's what I said
G                       C
 Only the good die young
                 D/F#
Only the good die    young

[Verse 2]
G                    C                D      Em
 You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
   C                         D    G
We ain't too pretty, we ain't too proud
   C                      D    Em
We might be laughing a bit too loud
    C                     D/F#
But that never hurt no one
        C                D     Em
So come on Virginia, show me a sign
C
Send up a signal,
     D             G
I'll throw you the line
    C                             D      Em
The stainedglass curtain you're hiding behind
C                    D/F#
Never lets in the sun
                          G    C  D/F#
Darling only the good die young oh

[Chorus]
G                                  C
 I tell you only the good die young
              D/F#
Only the good die young

[Interlude]
G          D/F#                   C
 You got a nice white dress and a party on your
        G
confirmation
          A7
You got a brand new soul
      C
And a cross of gold
       D/F#
But Virginia,
                          C              G
they didn't give you quite enough information
                A7
You didn't count  on me
                               C      G/B D/A Em/G
When you were counting on your rosary Oh 

[Verse 3]
D/F#    C                          D         Em
They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
C                          D       G
Some say it's better, but I say it ain't
           C                              D         Em
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
    C                        D/F#
The sinners are much more fun
                                G    C       D/F#
You know that only the good die young oh babe

[Chorus]
G                            G     C
 I tell you only the good die young
                 D/F#     G
Only the good die    young

[Interlude]
Said,
     D/F#                              C
your mother told you "All that I could give you was a
      G
reputation."
              A7
Aw, she never cared for me
                       C              G/B D/A
But did she ever say a prayer for me? oh 
Em/G

[Verse 4]
D/F#     C                      D

     Em
don't  let me wait
C                  D      G            C
 You Catholic girls start much too late
                            D     Em
But sooner or later it comes down to fate
  C
I might as well be the one

                                     G
You know that only the good die young

 Tell you babe
G                                     C
