Billy Joel - Only the Good Die Young: chords

F                  C/G          Am
Come out Virginia, don't let me wait
     F                    G        C
You Catholic girls start much too late
     F                  C/G          Am
But sooner or later it comes down to fate
   F                   G
I might as well be the one

Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray
They built you a temple and locked you away
Aw, but they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done

Chorus:
                   C   F
Only the good die young
               G  C
That's what I said
               C   F
Only the good die young
               G       C
Only the good die young

You might-a heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain't too pretty, we ain't too proud
We might be laughing a bit too loud
Aw, but that never hurt no one

So come on Virginia, show me a sign
Send up a signal, I'll throw you the line
The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
Never lets in the sun

Chorus:
Darling, only the good die young
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
I tell ya, only the good die young
Only the good die young

You got a nice white dress
And a party on your confirmation
You got a brand new soul
Mmm, and a cross of gold

But Virginia they didn't give you
Quite enough information
You didn't count on me
When you were counting on your rosary

They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it's better, but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry
with the saints
The sinners are much more fun

Chorus:
You know that only the good die young
Oh, baby
I tell ya, only the good die young
Only the good die young

              G                                F
You say your mother told you all that I could give
               C
you was a reputation
                D
Aww, she never cared for me
                         F
But did she ever say a prayer for me?
G   F    C/E
Oh woah woah

Come out, come out, come out Virginia,
don't let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
But sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one

Chorus:
You know that only the good die young
Tell you, baby
You know that only the good die young
Only the good die young

Only the good
Only the good die young
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
