[Intro]
Bb Bbaug Gm Ebm
Bb F Bb F/A
[Verse]
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/E Dsus4 D
Are you still so afraid
Gm Bb
Where’s the fire, 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 Am Dsus4 D
So many hours in a day
[Chorus]
Eb F
But you know that when the truth is told
Bb F/A
That you can get what you want
Gm Bb/F
Or you can just get old
Eb C7 D7 Gm C7
You’re gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
Gb
When will you realize
F Bb F/A
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 C/E Dsus7 D
Although it’s so romantic on the borderline tonight, 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
Though you can see when you’re wrong
Bb C/E Dsus4 D
You know you can’t always see when you’re right, you’re right
[Chorus 2]
Eb F
You got your passion, you got your pride
Bb F/A Gm Bb/F
But don’t you know that only fools are satisfied
Eb C/E D7 Gm7 C7
Dream on, but don’t imagine they’ll all come true
Gb
When will you realize
F Bb F/A
Vienna waits for you
[Interlude]
Gm Bb F Ab Eb Bb C/E Dsus4 D
[Chorus 3]
Eb F
Slow down you crazy child
Bb F/A
And take the phone off the hook
Gm Bb/F
And disappear for a while
Eb Am7 D7 Gm7 C7
It’s alright you can afford to lose a day or two
Gb
When will you realize
F Bb
Vienna waits for you
Eb F
And you know that when the truth is told
Bb F/A
That you can get what you want
Gm Bb/F
Or you can just get old
Eb Am7 D7 Gm7 C7
You’re gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
Gb
Why don’t you realize
F Bb
Vienna waits for you
G7 Gb
When will you realize
F Bb
Vienna waits for you
