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

They showed you a statue and  told you to pray
     F                         G         C
They built you a temple and  locked you away
    F                         C/G            Am
But they never told you the  price that you pay

     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                          G
But that never hurt no one

 G       F                    C/G     Am
