Lyrics

[Intro]
| Bb |

[Verse 1]
Gm              Bb
  Slow down you crazy child
       F                 Ab
You're so ambitious for a  juvenile
            Eb                      Bb
But then if you're so smart tell me why
                        C C7   Am7
Are you still so afraid?    Mmm
D
Gm
  Where's the fire,
           Bb
what's the hurry about?
          F                       Ab
You better cool it off before you burn it out
        Eb
You got so much to do and only
Bb                     Am7   D
So many hours in a day,   hey

[Chorus]
Eb                           F
  But you know that when the truth is told
             Bb               F/A           Gm
That you can get what you want   Or you can just get old
F            Eb                    Am7      D       Gm
 You're gonna  kick off before you even get halfway through,
   C
ooh
              Gb7    F
When will you realize
                 Bb
Vienna waits for you

[Verse 2]
Gm                 Bb
  Slow down you're doing fine
             F
You can't be everything you want to be
  Ab
Before your time
              Eb                Bb
Although it's so romantic on the  borderline tonight,
C C7       Am7 D
    tonight
Gm                     Bb
  Too bad but it's the life you lead
           F
You're so ahead of yourself
            Ab
That you forgot what you need
             Eb
Although you see when you're wrong
             Bb                                 Am7
You know you can't always see when you're right ,  you're
D
right

[Chorus]
Eb                         F
  You got your passion you got your pride
    Bb                  F/A       Gm         F
But don't you know that only fools  are satisfied?
Eb                     Am7               D     Gm
  Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true,
   C
ooh
              Gb7    F
When will you realize
                 Bb
Vienna waits for you

[Solo]
        | Gm Bb | F Ab | Eb Bb |
| Am7 D |

[Chorus]
Eb              F
  Slow down you crazy child and
         Bb                F/A
Take the phone off the hook
         Gm               F
And disappeaar for a while
    Eb                   Am7           D      Gm
It's  alright you can afford to lose a day or two,
   C
ooh
              Gb7    F
When will you realize
                 Bb
Vienna waits for you.
Eb                           F
  But you know that when the truth is told
             Bb               F/A           Gm
That you can get what you want   Or you can just get old
F            Eb                    Am7      D       Gm
 You're gonna  kick off before you even get halfway through,
   C
ooh
              Gb7    F
Why don't you realize
                 Bb G
Vienna waits for you
              C      F
When will you realize
Vienna waits for you
