Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

Intro: B+ | Eb75-/A Eb5-9+/A
       Bbdim7 | E/B

       C#m75-/G | F#7 F#7/6
       B | B

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

G#m
Where’s the fire,
           B
What’s the hurry about?
          F#
You better cool it off
           A
Before you burn it out.
        E
You got so much to do and only
B                   Bbm7 C#/Eb Eb
So many hours in a day. Hey.

Chorus:
   E
     But you know that
              F#       F#/G#
     When the truth is told,
          F#/Bb   B             F#/Bb
     That you can get what you want,
                G#m       G#m7/F#
     Or you can just get old.
                 E
     You’re gonna kick off before you
     Bbm7      Eb7   G#m7       C#7
     Even get halfway through. Ooh.
                   G7add11+
     When will you realize
   F#7                B
     Vienna waits for you?

Instrumental: B | B B B B/Bb

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

G#m                   B
Too bad, but it’s the life you lead,
           F#
You’re so ahead of yourself
            A
That you forgot what you need.
               E
Though you can see when you’re wrong,
             B
You know you can’t always see
             Bbm7          C#/Eb Eb
When you’re right, you’re right.

Chorus:
   E
     You got your passion,
         F#        F#/Bb
     You got your pride,
         B
     But don’t you know
          F#/Bb      G#m       G#m7/F#
     That only fools are satisfied?
   E                      Bbm7
     Dream on, but don’t imagine
              Eb7   G#m7     C#7
     They’ll all come true. Ooh.
                   G7add11+
     When will you realize
   F#7         B
     Vienna waits for you?

   E                  F#        F#/Bb
     Slow down, you crazy child
                  B             F#/Bb
     And take the phone off the hook
              G#m         G#m7/F#
     And disappear for a while.
   E                         Bbm7
     It’s alright, you can afford
               Eb7  G#m7    C#7
     To lose a day or two. Ooh.
                   G7add11+
     When will you realize
   F#          B         | B
     Vienna waits for you?

   E
     And you know that
              F#
     When the truth is told
                  B             F#/Bb
     That you can get what you want,
                G#m
     Or you can just
          G#m7/F#
     Get old you’re gonna
   E                     Bbm7
     Kick off before you even

     Get halfway through. Ooh.
