[D]
[Eb] [Ebm]
[F] [Bb]
[Gm]
Slow [Bb] down, you crazy child [F]
You're so ambitious [Ab] for a juvenile
[Eb] But then if you're so smart [Bb] Tell me why are you still [C] so afraid?
[D] [Gm]
Where's the fire?
[Bb] What's the hurry about?
You [F] better cool it off [Ab] before you burn it out
[F] You [Eb] got so much to [Bb] do and only so many [Am] hours in a day
[D] [Eb] But you know [F] that when the truth is told [Bb] That you can get [F] what you want [Gm] or you can
just [Bb] get old [Eb] You're gonna kick off [Am] before you even [D] get
halfway [Gm] through
[C] Oh, when [Gb] will you realize [F] Vienna [Bb] waits for you?
[Gm]
Slow [Bb] down, you're doing fine [F] You can't be everything you wanna [Ab] be before
your time Although [Eb] it's so romantic [Bb] on the [C] borderline
Tonight, [D] tonight [Gm] Too bad, [Bb] but it's the life you lead
[F] You're so ahead of yourself [Ab] that you forgot what you need
[Eb] Though you can see when you're wrong You [Bb] know you can't always see when [Am] you're
right [D] You're right
[Eb] You got your passion, [F] you got your pride [Bb] But don't you [F] know that only [Gm] fools are [Bb] satisfied
[Eb]
Dream on, but [Am] don't imagine it'll all [Gm] come true
[C] Oh, when [Gb] will you realize [F] Vienna [Bb] waits for you?
[A] [Gm]
[Bb] [F]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Bb] [Am]
[D] [Eb]
Slow down, you [F] crazy child And [Bb] take the phone [F] off the hook and [Gm] disappear
for [F] a while [Eb] It's alright, you [Am] can't afford to [D] lose a
day [Gm] or two [C] Oh, when [Gb] will you realize [F] Vienna [Bb] waits for you?
[Eb]
And you know that [F] when the truth is told That [Bb] you can get what [F] you want or [Gm] you can
just [Bb] get old You're [Eb] gonna kick off [Am] before you even [D] get
halfway [Gm]
through [C] Oh, why [Gb] don't you realize [F] Vienna [Bb] waits for you?
[F] [G] When will you realize [F] Vienna [Bb]
waits for you?
