                                               By Todd

(Intro) F  G  Am  F  G  C  F  G  Am  F  G (hold)

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 (hold)             G (hold)
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
Aw but they never told you the price that you pay
    F (hold)                   G (hold)
For things that you might have done

(Chorus)
                  C     F               G    C
Only the good die young   that?s What I Said
         C        F              G        C
Only the good die young only the good die young

               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 (hold)           G (hold)
Aw 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 a line
    F                            G        Am
The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
F (hold)          G (hold)
Never lets in the sun

(Chorus)
                          C     F                         G    C
Darlin' only the good die young   whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
                   C        F              G        C
I tell ya only the good die young only the good die young


(Bridge)
          G (hold)               F (hold)            C
You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation
          D                          F
You got a brand new soul, hmmm and a cross of gold
    G (hold)                      F (hold)          C
But Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information
           D                                          F      G  G/F   C
You didn't count on me when you were counting on your rosary Oh whoa, whoa

     F                        G              Am
They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
F                         G      C
Some say its better but I say it ain't
           F                           G            Am
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
    F (hold)              G (hold)
The Sinners are much more fun

(Chorus)
                                C     F        G    C
You know that only the good die young  oh whoa baby
                    C        F              G        C
 I tell ya only the good die young only the good die young

(Bridge)
             G (hold)                         F (hold)           C
You say your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation
             D                                   F             G  G/F   C 
Aw she never cared for me but did she ever say a prayer for me Oh whoa, whoa

F                          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                  G             Am
Sooner or later it comes down to fate
  F (hold)             G (hold)
I might as well be the one

(Outro chorus)
