Intro: Eb+ | G75-/C# G5-9+/C#
       Ddim7 | G#/Eb

       Fm75-/B | Bb7 Bb7/6
       Eb | Eb

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

Cm
Where’s the fire,
           Eb
What’s the hurry about?
          Bb
You better cool it off
           C#
Before you burn it out.
        G#
You got so much to do and only
Eb                  Dm7  F/G G
So many hours in a day. Hey.

Chorus:
   G#
     But you know that
              Bb       Bb/C
     When the truth is told,
          Bb/D    Eb            Bb/D
     That you can get what you want,
                Cm        Cm7/Bb
     Or you can just get old.
                 G#
     You’re gonna kick off before you
     Dm7       G7    Cm7        F7
     Even get halfway through. Ooh.
                   B7add11+
     When will you realize
   Bb7                Eb
     Vienna waits for you?

Instrumental: Eb | Eb Eb Eb Eb/D

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

Cm                    Eb
Too bad, but it’s the life you lead,
           Bb
You’re so ahead of yourself
            C#
That you forgot what you need.
               G#
Though you can see when you’re wrong,
             Eb
You know you can’t always see
             Dm7           F/G G
When you’re right, you’re right.

Chorus:
   G#
     You got your passion,
         Bb        Bb/D
     You got your pride,
         Eb
     But don’t you know
          Bb/D       Cm        Cm7/Bb
     That only fools are satisfied?
   G#                     Dm7
     Dream on, but don’t imagine
              G7    Cm7      F7
     They’ll all come true. Ooh.
                   B7add11+

                  Eb            Bb/D
     And take the phone off the hook
              Cm          Cm7/Bb
     And disappear for a while.
   G#                        Dm7
     It’s alright, you can afford
               G7   Cm7     F7
     To lose a day or two. Ooh.

     Get old you’re gonna
   G#                    Dm7
