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