Vienna – Billy Joel

[Intro]
| Bbaug     | D7   Eb   | Ebm/Gb F7   | Bb        |

[Verse 1]
Gm            Bb         
Slow down you crazy child
       F                 Ab       
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
            Eb                      Bb 
But then if you're so smart tell me why
C    D9sus4  D
Are you still so afraid
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 and only
Bb                  Am    D9sus4  D
So many hours in a day

[Chorus]
Eb                         F            
But you know that when the truth is told
             Bb            Dm/A
That you can get what you want
           Gm        Bb/F
Or you can just get old
            Eb                   Am7        D7   Gm7     C7
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
              Gb7    
When will you realize
F                Bb 
Vienna waits for you

[Verse 2]
Gm               Bb        
Slow down you're doing fine
             F                        
You can't be everything you want to be
  Ab            
Before your time
Eb                Bb             C        D9sus4  D
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight, tonight
Gm                   Bb           
Too bad but it's the life you lead
           F               
You're so ahead of yourself
            Ab               
That you forgot what you need
               Eb                   
Though you can see when you're wrong
Bb                            Am            D9sus4 D
You know you can't always see when you're right, you're ri  -   ight

[Chorus]
Eb                        F             
You got your passion, you got your pride
    Bb                  Dm/A       Gm        Bb/F
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
              Gb7    
When will you realize
F           Bb      
Vienna waits for you

| Eb   Bb   | Am   D9sus4 D |

[Chorus]
Eb             F         
Slow down you crazy child
             Bb            Dm/A
And take the phone off the hook
         Gm          Bb/F
And disappear for a while
Eb                      Am7            D7    Gm7 C7
It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two
              Gb7    
When will you realize
F           Bb      
Vienna waits for you
Eb                         F            
And you know that when the truth is told
             Bb            Dm/A
That you can get what you want
           Gm        Bb/F
Or you can just get old
            Eb                   Am7      D7     Gm7     C7
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through
              Gb7    
Why don't you realize
F          Bb       
Vienna waits for you
