Verse
C G C Dm
Back when I was younger, wild and bold and free
C G Em G
I can still remember, how the music use to be
C G C Dm C G Em G
Chords like rolling thunder, loud beyond control, every note and lyric branded right across my soul
Chorus
C G C Em
Where did the rock go? Where's the rush of those electric guitars?
Am Em C F G
Where are all those voices raised to heaven? Blazing down like shooting stars?
C G C Em
Tell me, where is passion? Where's the rattle and the roar and the buzz?
Am Em C F G
Where do last years one hit wonders go to? And what happened to the girl I was?
Verse
C G C D C G Em G
Somehow I got older, year by busy year. Guess the songs kept playing, but I didn't stop to hear.
C G C D C G Em G
All that youthful swagger turned to grown-up doubt, and the world spun like a record, but the music faded out.
Chorus
C G C Em
Where did the rock go? Where's the pounding of the drums in my veins?
Am Em C F G
When did all the static fill the airwaves? When it's gone then what remains?
C G Em Am
Tell me, where did the time go? Where's the joy I used to know way back when?
G C G
Where's the power and the beauty, and the frenzy and the rapture?
C G C
Where's the magic of the moments only rock could ever capture?
G C G
Now the only thing I'm hearing are the echoes disappearing...
Bridge
C G C D C G Em G
Sorry for the outburst, please, I'll be okay. Lets keep this our secret, who'd believe it anyway?
C G C D
We'll pretend it never happened. File it and forget.
C G Em G
Still, thanks for the reminder that there's music in me yet.
Chorus
C G C Em
Where did the rock go? All those feelings that I've learned to ignore?
Am Em C F G
If you flip the record and start over, does it sound the way it did before?
C G
Where did the rock go?
