[Intro]
| Bbaug Gb9 | D7 Eb | Gb6 F7 | Bb |
 
 
[Verse 1]
Gm             Bb
 Slow down you crazy child
       F                 Ab
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
            Eb
But then if you're so smart
         Bb               | C5    Dsus4 D |
Tell me, why you still so afraid
 
 
[Verse 2]
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
         Bb                | Am7     D7sus4 D |
And only so many hours in a day, hey-ey,   -ey
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Eb                          F
 But you know that when the truth is told
             Bb           Bbmaj7
That you can get what you want
           Gm       Bb
Or you can just get old
               Eb                    Am7      D7     | Gm7         C7 |
You're gonna ... kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh-ooh
 
 
[Chorus]
              Gb7
When will you realize
F                |  Bb     Bbmaj7 |
 Vienna waits for you
 
 
[Verse 3]
Gm                Bb
 Slow down you're doing fine
             F                           Ab
You can't be everything you want to be before your time
              Eb                Bb            C5       D7sus4 D
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight, tonigh-  -ight
 
 
[Verse 4]
Gm                    Bb
 Too bad but it's the life you lead
           F                            Ab
You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
               Eb
Though you can see when you're wrong
             Bb                           Am7           D7sus4 D
You know you can't always see when you're right, you're righ- -ight
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Eb                         F
 You got your passion, you got your pride
    Bb                  Bbmaj7     Gm        Bb
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied
Eb                    Am7            D7       Gm7       C7
 Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true, ooh-ooh
 
 
[Chorus]
              Gb7
When will you realize
F             Bb
 Vienna waits for you
 
 
[Solo]
| Gm Bb | F Ab |
| Eb Bb | Am7    D7sus4 D |
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Eb             F
 Slow down you crazy child
             Bb            Bbmaj7        Gm         Bb
And take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
Eb                       Am7            D7     Gm7      C7
 It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two, ooh-ooh
 
 
[Chorus]
              Gb7
When will you realize
F             Bb
 Vienna waits for you
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Eb                          F
 And you know that when the truth is told
             Bb           Bbmaj7          Gm       Bb
That you can get what you want or you can just get old
               Eb                    Am7      D7      Gm7          C7
You're gonna ... kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh-ooh
 
 
[Chorus]
              Gb7
Why don't you realize
F               |  Bb  G7  |
 Vienna waits for you
              Gb7
When will you realize
            (break)
F       [ Bbaug ]
 Vienna waits for you
 
 
[Coda]
