ARTIST: Billy Joel TITLE: Only the Good Die Young Lyrics and Chords Come out, Virginia, don't let me wait You Catholic girls start much too late Ah but sooner or later it comes down to fate I might as well be the one / F - C Am / F - G C / 1st / F - G - / Well, they showed you a statue, told you to pray They built you a temple and locked you away Ah but they never told you the price that you pay For things that you might have done Only the good die young, that's what I say Only the good die young, only the good die young / C - F - G - / / You might have 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 Oh, but that never hurt no one So come on, Virginia, show me a sign Send up a signal, I'll throw you a line That stained glass curtain you're hiding behind Never lets in the sun Darlin', only the good die young, wo-o-o-oh I tell you 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 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, oh-oh-oh / G F C - / D - F - / 1st / D - F CDmC / And 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 You know that only the good die young, woo-oo-oo baby I tell you only the good die young, only the good die young Said your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation Oh, she never cared for me but did she ever say a prayer for me, no-oh-oh 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 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, good, only the good die young Oo-oo-oo-o-oh o-o-oo-oo-o-oh Oo-oo-oo-o-o-oh o-o-o-oo-oo-oh
