Intro: Bb5 Ab5 A5 Eb5 F#5 F5 A#5 
 
G5                        A#5 
   Slow down, you crazy child 
           F5                          G#5 
you're so ambitious for a juvenile 
                  D#5 
But then if you're so smart, tell me 
A#5                              C5            D5    D5 
Why are you still so afraid? 
 

G5                                        A#5 
   Where's the fire, what's the hurry about? 
                   F5                                G#5 
You'd better cool it off before you burn it out 
                  D#5 
You've got so much to do and 
         A#5                           A5    D5   D5 
Only so many hours in a day 
 

D#5                                             F5 
   But you know that when the truth is told. 
                       Bb5                F5                     G5      G5 
That you can get what you want or you can just get old 
                   D#5                            A5     
You're gonna kick off before you even 
       D5          G5         C5 
Get halfway through 
                        F#5       F5 
When will you realize,  
                           A#5 
Vienna waits for you? 
 

G5                            A#5 
   Slow down, you're doing fine 
                      F5 
You can't be everything you want to be 
     G#5 
Before your time 
                    D#5                          A#5                C5 
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight 
D5 D5 
Tonight, 
 

G5                            A#5 
   Too bad but it's the life you lead 
                F5                                          G#5 
you're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need 
                            D#5 
Though you can see when you're wrong, you know 
        A#5                                           A5 
You can't always see when you're right.  
           D5  D5   
You're right, 
 

D#5                                                  F5 
   You've got your passion, you've got your pride 
      A#5                           F5   G5       G5 
but don't you know that only fools are satisfied? 
D#5                                 A5               D5           G5       C5 
   Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true 
                        F#5        F5                           
When will you realize,  
                          A#5 
Vienna waits for you? 

 
D#5                         F5 
   Slow down, you crazy child 
                     A#5                 F5                G5          G5 
and take the phone off the hook and disappear for awhile 
D#5                               A5                 D5        G5          C5 
  it's all right, you can afford to lose a day or two 
                        F#5        F5                           
When will you realize,  
                          A#5 
Vienna waits for you? 

 
D#5                                              F5 
   And you know that when the truth is told 
                     A#5                 F5                    G5       G5 
that you can get what you want or you can just get old 
                     D#5                          A5         D5          G5          C5 
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through 
                        F#5        F5                           
When will you realize,  
                          A#5 
Vienna waits for you? 
                        F#5        F5                           
When will you realize,  
                          A#5 
Vienna waits for you?
