Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

Intro: E+ | G#75-/D G#5-9+/D
       Ebdim7 | A/E

       F#m75-/C | B7 B7/6
       E | E

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

C#m
Where’s the fire,
           E
What’s the hurry about?
          B
You better cool it off
           D
Before you burn it out.
        A
You got so much to do and only
E                   Ebm7 F#/G# G#
So many hours in a day. Hey.

Chorus:
   A
     But you know that
              B        B/C#
     When the truth is told,
          B/Eb    E             B/Eb
     That you can get what you want,
                C#m       C#m7/B
     Or you can just get old.
                 A
     You’re gonna kick off before you
     Ebm7      G#7   C#m7       F#7
     Even get halfway through. Ooh.
                   C7add11+
     When will you realize
   B7                 E
     Vienna waits for you?

Instrumental: E | E E E E/Eb

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

C#m                   E
Too bad, but it’s the life you lead,
           B
You’re so ahead of yourself
            D
That you forgot what you need.
               A
Though you can see when you’re wrong,
             E
You know you can’t always see
             Ebm7          F#/G# G#
When you’re right, you’re right.

Chorus:
   A
     You got your passion,
         B         B/Eb
     You got your pride,
         E
     But don’t you know
          B/Eb       C#m       C#m7/B
     That only fools are satisfied?
   A                      Ebm7
     Dream on, but don’t imagine
              G#7   C#m7     F#7
     They’ll all come true. Ooh.
                   C7add11+
     When will you realize
   B7          E
     Vienna waits for you?

              Ebm7 | F#/G# G# G# G#

   A                  B         B/Eb
     Slow down, you crazy child
                  E             B/Eb
     And take the phone off the hook
              C#m         C#m7/B
     And disappear for a while.
   A                         Ebm7
     It’s alright, you can afford
               G#7  C#m7    F#7
     To lose a day or two. Ooh.
                   C7add11+
     When will you realize
   B           E         | E
     Vienna waits for you?

   A
     And you know that
              B
     When the truth is told
                  E             B/Eb
     That you can get what you want,
                C#m
     Or you can just
          C#m7/B
     Get old you’re gonna
   A                     Ebm7
     Kick off before you even
         G#7    C#m7       F#7
     Get halfway through. Ooh.
