Only The Good Die Young

[Verse 1]
        D
I was twenty-four when all my friends
  G
Gave up on their religions
            D
You know, Marx called it an opium
        Bm             G
But I just call You Jesus
        D
I was twenty-five when I hit the wall
  Bm                    G
Broke my wrist playing basketball
                D
You know, they say that pride comes before the fall
         Bm              G
And I’m on the ground again
 
[Chorus]
        G                      D
Is it true only the good die young?
            Bm                             E
Is growing old just forgetting where you came from?
        G                      D
Is it true only the good die young?
  E
Young
         G                     D
And is faith like falling in love?
        Bm                      E
Gets harder once you lose that adolescent rush
        G                      D
Is is true only the good die young?
  E
Young
 
[Verse 2]
         D
Well, twenty-six seems a ways off
          Bm                   G
But I’m sure it’ll be here soon enough
                D
You know, the brightest gold, it still can rust
            Bm                    G
And these years, they come like waves
 
[Chorus]
        G                      D
Is it true only the good die young?
            Bm                             E
Is growing old just forgetting where you came from?
        G                      D
Is it true only the good die young?
  E
Young
         G                     D
And is faith like falling in love?
        Bm                      E
Gets harder once you lose that adolescent rush
        G                      D
Is is true only the good die young?
      E
Die young, oh
 
[Bridge]
                      G
Remember what it was like
          E
Being a child
                  G
Knowing it was alright
                      E
When You said it’s alright
                      G
Remember what it was like
          E
Being a child
                 G
Knowing it was alright
                     E
When You said it’s alright
 
[Chorus]
        G                      D
Is it true only the good die young?
            Bm                             E
Is growing old just forgetting where you came from?
        G                      D
Is it true only the good die young?
  E
Young
         G                     D
And is faith like falling in love?
        Bm                      E
Gets harder once you lose that adolescent rush
        G                      D
Is is true only the good die young?
      E
Die young, oh

Being a child
                  G
Knowing it was alright
                      E
When You said it’s alright
                      G
Remember what it was like
          E
Being a child
                 G
