Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

Intro: F# | Bb7 Bb7
       G7 | B

       Bm | C#7 C#7
       F# | F#

Ebm            F#
Slow down, you crazy child,
       C#                E
You’re so ambitious for a juvenile.
            B
But then if you’re so smart,
        F#
Tell me why
                  G#          Bb
Are you still so afraid? Mm.

Ebm
Where’s the fire,
           F#
What’s the hurry about?
          C#
You better cool it off
           E
Before you burn it out.
        B
You got so much to do and only
F#                  Fm7  G#  Bb
So many hours in a day. Hey.

Chorus:
   B
     But you know that
              C#
     When the truth is told,
                  F#            C#
     That you can get what you want,
                Ebm       Ebm7
     Or you can just get old.
                 B
     You’re gonna kick off before you
     Fm7       Bb7   Ebm7       G#7
     Even get halfway through. Ooh.
                   D7
     When will you realize
   C#7                F#
     Vienna waits for you?

Instrumental: F# | F# F# F# F#

Ebm               F#
Slow down, you’re doing fine,
             C#
You can’t be everything you want
        E
To be before your time.
              B
Although it’s so romantic
      F#             G#           Bb
On the borderline tonight, tonight.

Ebm                   F#
Too bad, but it’s the life you lead,
           C#
You’re so ahead of yourself
            E
That you forgot what you need.
               B
Though you can see when you’re wrong,
             F#
You know you can’t always see
             Fm7           G#  Bb
When you’re right, you’re right.

Chorus:
   B
     You got your passion,
         C#
     You got your pride,
         F#
     But don’t you know
          C#         Ebm       Ebm7
     That only fools are satisfied?
   B                      Fm7
     Dream on, but don’t imagine
              Bb7   Ebm7     G#7
     They’ll all come true. Ooh.
                   D7
     When will you realize
   C#7         F#
     Vienna waits for you?

     Slow down, you crazy child
                  F#            C#
     And take the phone off the hook
              Ebm         Ebm7
     And disappear for a while.
   B                         Fm7
     It’s alright, you can afford
               Bb7  Ebm7    G#7
     To lose a day or two. Ooh.
                   D7
     When will you realize

     Vienna waits for you?

   B
     And you know that
              C#
     When the truth is told
                  F#            C#
     That you can get what you want,
                Ebm
     Or you can just
          Ebm7
     Get old you’re gonna
   B                     Fm7
     Kick off before you even
         Bb7    Ebm7       G#7
     Get halfway through. Ooh.
