Intro: C#+ | F75-/B F5-9+/B
       Cdim7 | F#/C#

       Ebm75-/A | G#7 G#7/6
       C# | C#

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

Bbm
Where’s the fire,
           C#
What’s the hurry about?
          G#
You better cool it off
           B
Before you burn it out.
        F#
You got so much to do and only
C#                  Cm7  Eb/F F
So many hours in a day. Hey.

Chorus:
   F#
     But you know that
              G#       G#/Bb
     When the truth is told,
          G#/C    C#            G#/C
     That you can get what you want,
                Bbm       Bbm7/G#
     Or you can just get old.
                 F#
     You’re gonna kick off before you
     Cm7       F7    Bbm7       Eb7
     Even get halfway through. Ooh.
                   A7add11+
     When will you realize
   G#7                C#
     Vienna waits for you?

Instrumental: C# | C# C# C# C#/C

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

Bbm                   C#
Too bad, but it’s the life you lead,
           G#
You’re so ahead of yourself
            B
That you forgot what you need.
               F#
Though you can see when you’re wrong,
             C#
You know you can’t always see
             Cm7           Eb/F F
When you’re right, you’re right.

Chorus:
   F#
     You got your passion,
         G#        G#/C
     You got your pride,
         C#
     But don’t you know
          G#/C       Bbm       Bbm7/G#
     That only fools are satisfied?
   F#                     Cm7
     Dream on, but don’t imagine
              F7    Bbm7     Eb7
     They’ll all come true. Ooh.
                   A7add11+

     And take the phone off the hook
              Bbm         Bbm7/G#
     And disappear for a while.
   F#                        Cm7
     It’s alright, you can afford
               F7   Bbm7    Eb7
     To lose a day or two. Ooh.
