Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

Intro: Bb | D7 D7
       B7 | Eb

       D#m | F7 F7
       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           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
So many hours in a day. Hey.

Chorus:
   Eb
     But you know that
              F
     When the truth is told,
                  Bb            F
     That you can get what you want,
                Gm        Gm7
     Or you can just get old.
                 Eb
     You’re gonna kick off before you
     Am7       D7    Gm7        C7
     Even get halfway through. Ooh.
                   Gb7
     When will you realize
   F7                 Bb
     Vienna waits for you?

Instrumental: Bb | Bb Bb Bb Bb

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            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
When you’re right, you’re right.

Chorus:
   Eb
     You got your passion,
         F
     You got your pride,
         Bb
     But don’t you know
          F          Gm        Gm7
     That only fools are satisfied?
   Eb                     Am7
     Dream on, but don’t imagine
              D7    Gm7      C7
     They’ll all come true. Ooh.
                   Gb7
     When will you realize
   F7          Bb
     Vienna waits for you?

     Slow down, you crazy child
                  Bb            F
     And take the phone off the hook
              Gm          Gm7
     And disappear for a while.
   Eb                        Am7
     It’s alright, you can afford
               D7   Gm7     C7
     To lose a day or two. Ooh.
                   Gb7

     Vienna waits for you?

              F
     When the truth is told
                  Bb            F
     That you can get what you want,
                Gm
     Or you can just
          Gm7
     Get old you’re gonna
   Eb                    Am7
     Kick off before you even
         D7     Gm7        C7
     Get halfway through. Ooh.
