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?
