Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

Intro: Bb+ | D75-/Ab D5-9+/Ab
       Adim7 | Eb/Bb

       Cm75-/Gb | F7 F7/6
       Bb | Bb

Gm             Bb
Slow down, you crazy child,
       F                 Ab
You’re so ambitious for a juvenile.
            Eb
But then if you’re so smart,
        Bb
Tell me why
                  C       C/D D
Are you still so afraid? Mm.

Gm
Where’s the fire,
           Bb
What’s the hurry about?
          F
You better cool it off
           Ab
Before you burn it out.
        Eb
You got so much to do and only
Bb                  Am7  C/D D
So many hours in a day. Hey.

Chorus:
   Eb
     But you know that
              F        F/G
     When the truth is told,
          F/A     Bb            F/A
     That you can get what you want,
                Gm        Gm7/F
     Or you can just get old.
                 Eb
     You’re gonna kick off before you
     Am7       D7    Gm7        C7
     Even get halfway through. Ooh.
                   Gb7add11+
     When will you realize
   F7                 Bb
     Vienna waits for you?

Instrumental: Bb | Bb Bb Bb Bb/A

Gm                Bb
Slow down, you’re doing fine,
             F
You can’t be everything you want
        Ab
To be before your time.
              Eb
Although it’s so romantic
      Bb             C        C/D D
On the borderline tonight, tonight.

Gm                    Bb
Too bad, but it’s the life you lead,
           F
You’re so ahead of yourself
            Ab
That you forgot what you need.
               Eb
Though you can see when you’re wrong,
             Bb
You know you can’t always see
             Am7           C/D D
When you’re right, you’re right.

Chorus:
   Eb
     You got your passion,
         F         F/A
     You got your pride,
         Bb
     But don’t you know
          F/A        Gm        Gm7/F
     That only fools are satisfied?
   Eb                     Am7
     Dream on, but don’t imagine
              D7    Gm7      C7
     They’ll all come true. Ooh.
                   Gb7add11+

   Eb                 F         F/A
     Slow down, you crazy child
                  Bb            F/A
     And take the phone off the hook
              Gm          Gm7/F
     And disappear for a while.
   Eb                        Am7
     It’s alright, you can afford
               D7   Gm7     C7
     To lose a day or two. Ooh.

              F
     When the truth is told

     That you can get what you want,
                Gm
     Or you can just
          Gm7/F
     Get old you’re gonna
   Eb                    Am7
