Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

Intro: A+ | C#75- C#5-
       G#dim7 | D

       Bm75- | E7 E7
       A | A

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

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

Chorus:
   D
     But you know that
              E           
     When the truth is told,
                  A             E  
     That you can get what you want,
                F#m       F#m7 
     Or you can just get old.
                 D
     You’re gonna kick off before you
     G#m7      C#7   F#m7       B7
     Even get halfway through. Ooh.
                   F7       
     When will you realize
   E7                 A
     Vienna waits for you?

Instrumental: A | A A A Amaj

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

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

Chorus:
   D
     You got your passion,
         E            
     You got your pride,
         A
     But don’t you know
          E          F#m       F#m7 
     That only fools are satisfied?
   D                      G#m7
     Dream on, but don’t imagine
              C#7   F#m7     B7
     They’ll all come true. Ooh.
                   F7       
     When will you realize
   E7          A
     Vienna waits for you?

   D                  E            
     Slow down, you crazy child
                  A             E  
     And take the phone off the hook
              F#m         F#m7 
     And disappear for a while.
   D                         G#m7
     It’s alright, you can afford
               C#7  F#m7    B7
     To lose a day or two. Ooh.
                   F7       
     When will you realize
   E           A         |   
     Vienna waits for you?

   D
     And you know that
              E
     When the truth is told
                  A             E  
     That you can get what you want,
                F#m
     Or you can just
          F#m7 
     Get old you’re gonna
   D                     G#m7
     Kick off before you even
         C#7    F#m7       B7
     Get halfway through. Ooh.
                   F7
