G  D/F#  Em               G
          Slow down, you crazy child 
   D                       F
You're so ambitious for a juvenile 
             C
But then if you're so smart, tell me 
G                    A            B4    B
Why are you still so afraid? 
 
Em                              G
   Where's the fire, what's the hurry about? 
              D                     F
You'd better cool it off before you burn it out 
              C
You've got so much to do and 
      G               Am     B4   B
Only so many hours in a day 
 
C                             D
   But you know that when the truth is told
             G            D/F#            Em7      D
That you can get what you want or you can just get old 
             C                   B
You're gonna kick off before you even 
            Em         A7
Get halfway through 
              C
When will you realize 
D7               G
Vienna waits for you? 
 
G  D/F#  Em               G
         Slow down, you're doing fine 
              D
You can't be everything you want to be 
F
Before your time 
              C                  G            A
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight 
B4  B
Tonight
 
Em                       G 
   Too bad but it's the life you lead 
           D                         F
you're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need 
                 C
Though you can see when you're wrong, you know 
    G                            A
You can't always see when you're right  
           B4  B
You're right
 
C                                  D
   You've got your passion, you've got your pride 
      G                 D/F#       Em7      D
but don't you know that only fools are satisfied? 
C                      B                        Em       A7
   Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true 
              C
When will you realize 
D7                G       G  D/F#
Vienna waits for you? 

[Solo] Em  G  D  F  C  G  A  B
 
C                 D
   Slow down, you crazy child 
             G             D/F#         Em7        D
and take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile 
C                         B                       Em       A7
  it's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two 
              C
When will you realize  
D7                G
Vienna waits for you? 
 
C                             D
   But you know that when the truth is told
             G            D/F#            Em7      D
That you can get what you want or you can just get old 
             C                   B                Em         A7
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
              C
When will you realize
D7               G       Em
Vienna waits for you?
               C
When will you realize
D7                G
Vienna waits for you?
