Intro: D+ | F#75- F#5-
       C#dim7 | G

       Em75- | A7 A7
       D | D

Bm             D
Slow down, you crazy child,
       A                 C
You’re so ambitious for a juvenile.
            G
But then if you’re so smart,
        D
Tell me why
                  E           F#
Are you still so afraid? Mm.

Bm
Where’s the fire,
           D
What’s the hurry about?
          A
You better cool it off
           C
Before you burn it out.
        G
You got so much to do and only
D                   C#m7 E   F#
So many hours in a day. Hey.

Chorus:
   G
     But you know that
              A           
     When the truth is told,
                  D             A  
     That you can get what you want,
                Bm        Bm7  
     Or you can just get old.
                 G
     You’re gonna kick off before you
     C#m7      F#7   Bm7        E7
     Even get halfway through. Ooh.
                   Bb7      
     When will you realize
   A7                 D
     Vienna waits for you?

Instrumental: D | D D D Dmaj

Bm                D
Slow down, you’re doing fine,
             A
You can’t be everything you want
        C
To be before your time.
              G
Although it’s so romantic
      D              E            F#
On the borderline tonight, tonight.

Bm                    D
Too bad, but it’s the life you lead,
           A
You’re so ahead of yourself
            C
That you forgot what you need.
               G
Though you can see when you’re wrong,
             D
You know you can’t always see
             C#m7          E   F#
When you’re right, you’re right.

Chorus:
   G
     You got your passion,
         A            
     You got your pride,
         D
     But don’t you know
          A          Bm        Bm7  
     That only fools are satisfied?
   G                      C#m7
     Dream on, but don’t imagine
              F#7   Bm7      E7
     They’ll all come true. Ooh.
                   Bb7      
     When will you realize
   A7          D
     Vienna waits for you?

     Slow down, you crazy child
                  D             A  
     And take the phone off the hook
              Bm          Bm7  
     And disappear for a while.
   G                         C#m7
     It’s alright, you can afford
               F#7  Bm7     E7
     To lose a day or two. Ooh.
                   Bb7      
     When will you realize
   A           D         |   
     Vienna waits for you?

   G
     And you know that
              A
     When the truth is told
                  D             A  
     That you can get what you want,
                Bm
     Or you can just
          Bm7  
     Get old you’re gonna
   G                     C#m7
     Kick off before you even

     Get halfway through. Ooh.
                   Bb7
