Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel

Intro: Eb+ | G75- G5-
       Ddim7 | G#

       Fm75- | Bb7 Bb7
       Eb | Eb

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

Cm
Where’s the fire,
           Eb
What’s the hurry about?
          Bb
You better cool it off
           C#
Before you burn it out.
        G#
You got so much to do and only
Eb                  Dm7  F   G
So many hours in a day. Hey.

Chorus:
   G#
     But you know that
              Bb          
     When the truth is told,
                  Eb            Bb 
     That you can get what you want,
                Cm        Cm7  
     Or you can just get old.
                 G#
     You’re gonna kick off before you
     Dm7       G7    Cm7        F7
     Even get halfway through. Ooh.
                   B7       
     When will you realize
   Bb7                Eb
     Vienna waits for you?

Instrumental: Eb | Eb Eb Eb Ebmaj

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

Cm                    Eb
Too bad, but it’s the life you lead,
           Bb
You’re so ahead of yourself
            C#
That you forgot what you need.
               G#
Though you can see when you’re wrong,
             Eb
You know you can’t always see
             Dm7           F   G
When you’re right, you’re right.

Chorus:
   G#
     You got your passion,
         Bb           
     You got your pride,
         Eb
     But don’t you know
          Bb         Cm        Cm7  
     That only fools are satisfied?
   G#                     Dm7
     Dream on, but don’t imagine
              G7    Cm7      F7
     They’ll all come true. Ooh.
                   B7       
     When will you realize
   Bb7         Eb
     Vienna waits for you?

     And take the phone off the hook
              Cm          Cm7  
     And disappear for a while.
   G#                        Dm7
     It’s alright, you can afford
               G7   Cm7     F7
     To lose a day or two. Ooh.
