Intro: Bm

Verse 1:
Bm
Streetlight, pick a fight with a stranger
D
I've been saving up my anger
A
Stacking up like pennies in my pocket
G
Whistle like a runaway train, and I lost it
Bm
Good girls die young, don't you know they got 'em
D
All lined up with names on their coffins
A
Mary Beth died with stars in her eyes
G
I've been runnin' from her ghost all my life, oh

Chorus:
Bm       D               A
Ooh-ooh, ah, I hear them crying, crying
G
Good girls, good girls

Verse 2:
Bm
Broken pieces under the rug
D
A thesis of all I've loved
A
Reeling in the aftermath
G
I wish that you could take it back
Bm
Burnin' in my lungs again
D
The taste of your carcinogen
A
Every breath, a feelin'
G
I'm gettin' good at healin'

Chorus:
Bm        D               A
Ooh-ooh, ah, I hear them crying, crying

Good girls, good girls
