       G# | G#

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

Fm
Where’s the fire,
           G#
What’s the hurry about?
          Eb
You better cool it off
           F#
Before you burn it out.
        C#
You got so much to do and only
G#                  Gm7  Bb/C C
So many hours in a day. Hey.

Chorus:
   C#
     But you know that
              Eb       Eb/F
     When the truth is told,
          Eb/G    G#            Eb/G
     That you can get what you want,
                Fm        Fm7/Eb
     Or you can just get old.
                 C#
     You’re gonna kick off before you
     Gm7       C7    Fm7        Bb7
     Even get halfway through. Ooh.
                   E7add11+

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

Fm                    G#
Too bad, but it’s the life you lead,
           Eb
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
             Gm7           Bb/C C
When you’re right, you’re right.

Chorus:
   C#
     You got your passion,
         Eb        Eb/G
     You got your pride,
         G#
     But don’t you know
          Eb/G       Fm        Fm7/Eb
     That only fools are satisfied?
   C#                     Gm7
     Dream on, but don’t imagine
              C7    Fm7      Bb7
     They’ll all come true. Ooh.

     And disappear for a while.
