Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

Intro: G+ | B75-/F B5-9+/F
       F#dim7 | C/G

       Am75-/Eb | D7 D7/6
       G | G

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

Em
Where’s the fire,
           G
What’s the hurry about?
          D
You better cool it off
           F
Before you burn it out.
        C
You got so much to do and only
G                   F#m7 A/B B
So many hours in a day. Hey.

Chorus:
   C
     But you know that
              D        D/E
     When the truth is told,
          D/F#    G             D/F#
     That you can get what you want,
                Em        Em7/D
     Or you can just get old.
                 C
     You’re gonna kick off before you
     F#m7      B7    Em7        A7
     Even get halfway through. Ooh.
                   Eb7add11+
     When will you realize
   D7                 G
     Vienna waits for you?

Instrumental: G | G G G G/F#

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

Em                    G
Too bad, but it’s the life you lead,
           D
You’re so ahead of yourself
            F
That you forgot what you need.
               C
Though you can see when you’re wrong,
             G
You know you can’t always see
             F#m7          A/B B
When you’re right, you’re right.

Chorus:
   C
     You got your passion,
         D         D/F#
     You got your pride,
         G
     But don’t you know
          D/F#       Em        Em7/D
     That only fools are satisfied?
   C                      F#m7
     Dream on, but don’t imagine
              B7    Em7      A7
     They’ll all come true. Ooh.
                   Eb7add11+
     When will you realize
   D7          G
     Vienna waits for you?

     Slow down, you crazy child
                  G             D/F#
     And take the phone off the hook
              Em          Em7/D
     And disappear for a while.
   C                         F#m7
     It’s alright, you can afford
               B7   Em7     A7
     To lose a day or two. Ooh.
                   Eb7add11+

     Vienna waits for you?

     That you can get what you want,
                Em
     Or you can just
          Em7/D
     Get old you’re gonna
   C                     F#m7
