Gm                        A# 
   Slow down, you crazy child 
           F                          G# 
you're so ambitious for a juvenile 
                  D# 
But then if you're so smart, tell me 
A#                              C            D11    D 
Why are you still so afraid? 
 

Gm                                        A# 
   Where's the fire, what's the hurry about? 
                   F                                G# 
You'd better cool it off before you burn it out

You've got so much to do and 
         A#                           Am    D11   D 
Only so many hours in a day 
 

D#                                             F 
   But you know that when the truth is told. 
                       Bb                F/A                     Gm      Gm/F 
That you can get what you want or you can just get old 
                   D#                            Am     
You're gonna kick off before you even

Get halfway through 
                        F#       F 
When will you realize,  
                           A# 
Vienna waits for you? 
 

Gm                            A# 
   Slow down, you're doing fine 
                      F 
You can't be everything you want to be 
     G# 
Before your time 
                    D#                          A#                C 
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight 
D11 D 
Tonight, 
 

Gm                            A# 
   Too bad but it's the life you lead 
                F                                          G# 
you're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need 
                            D# 
Though you can see when you're wrong, you know 
        A#                                           Am 
You can't always see when you're right.  
           D11  D   
You're right, 
 

D#                                                  F 
   You've got your passion, you've got your pride 
      A#                           F/A   Gm       Gm/F 
but don't you know that only fools are satisfied? 
D#                                 Am               D           Gm       C 
   Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true 
                        F#        F

Vienna waits for you?

   Slow down, you crazy child 
                     A#                 F/A                Gm          Gm/F 
and take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile 
D#                               Am                 D        Gm          C 
  it's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two 
                        F#        F

   And you know that when the truth is told 
                     A#                 F/A                    Gm       Gm/F 
that you can get what you want or you can just get old 
                     D#                          Am         D          Gm          C 
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through 
                        F#        F                           
When will you realize,  
                          A# 
Vienna waits for you?

When will you realize,
