Intro: F+ | A75-/Eb A5-9+/Eb
       Edim7 | Bb/F

       Gm75-/C# | C7 C7/6
       F | F

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

Dm
Where’s the fire,
           F
What’s the hurry about?
          C
You better cool it off
           Eb
Before you burn it out.
        Bb
You got so much to do and only
F                   Em7  G/A A
So many hours in a day. Hey.

Chorus:
   Bb
     But you know that
              C        C/D
     When the truth is told,
          C/E     F             C/E
     That you can get what you want,
                Dm        Dm7/C
     Or you can just get old.
                 Bb
     You’re gonna kick off before you
     Em7       A7    Dm7        G7
     Even get halfway through. Ooh.
                   C#7add11+
     When will you realize
   C7                 F
     Vienna waits for you?

Instrumental: F | F F F F/E

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

Dm                    F
Too bad, but it’s the life you lead,
           C
You’re so ahead of yourself
            Eb
That you forgot what you need.
               Bb
Though you can see when you’re wrong,
             F
You know you can’t always see
             Em7           G/A A
When you’re right, you’re right.

Chorus:
   Bb
     You got your passion,
         C         C/E
     You got your pride,
         F
     But don’t you know
          C/E        Dm        Dm7/C
     That only fools are satisfied?
   Bb                     Em7
     Dream on, but don’t imagine
              A7    Dm7      G7
     They’ll all come true. Ooh.
                   C#7add11+

     Slow down, you crazy child
                  F             C/E
     And take the phone off the hook
              Dm          Dm7/C
     And disappear for a while.
   Bb                        Em7
     It’s alright, you can afford
               A7   Dm7     G7
     To lose a day or two. Ooh.

              C
     When the truth is told

     That you can get what you want,
                Dm
     Or you can just
          Dm7/C
     Get old you’re gonna
   Bb                    Em7
     Kick off before you even
