Where Did The Rock Go

C               G        C      
Back when I was younger, wild 
           Dm
and bold and free
C           G                 Em
I can still remember, how the 
           G
music use to be
C                   G        C  
Chords like rolling thunder, 
         Dm       C              
loud beyond control, every note 
G             Em              G
and lyric branded right across my 
soul

Chorus
C             G                   
Where did the rock go? Where's the
 C                        Em
 rush of those electric guitars?
Am                                
Where are all those voices raised 
    Em     C               
to heaven? Blazing down like 
  F        G
shooting stars?
         C        G               
Tell me, where is passion? Where's
     C                           
 the rattle and the roar and the 
Em
buzz?
Am                                
Where do last years one hit 
  Em              C               
wonders go to? And what happened 
F      G
to the girl I was?

Verse
Continues after the ad
C             G      C           
Somehow I got older, year by busy
 D     C                    G    
 year. Guess the songs kept 
         Em              G
playing, but I didn't stop to hear.
C                 G       C     
All that youthful swagger turned
             D              C     
 to grown-up doubt, and the world 
            G               Em    
spun like a record, but the music 
      G
faded out.

Chorus
C             G                   
Where did the rock go? Where's the
 C                           Em
 pounding of the drums in my veins?
Am                               
When did all the static fill the 
Em        C                   F  
airwaves? When it's gone then what 
  G
remains?
         C             G      
Tell me, where did the time go? 
              Em                   
Where's the joy I used to know way 
       Am
back when?
            G             C       
Where's the power and the beauty, 
        G
and the frenzy and the rapture?
            C            G     
Where's the magic of the moments 
       C
only rock could ever capture?
         G             C          
Now the only thing I'm hearing are
     G
 the echoes disappearing...

Bridge
C             G         C       
Sorry for the outburst, please, 
        D     C                  
I'll be okay. Lets keep this our 
G             Em            G
secret, who'd believe it anyway?
         C             G         
We'll pretend it never happened. 
C              D
File it and forget.
       C                G         
Still, thanks for the reminder 
          Em          G
that there's music in me yet.

Chorus
C             G                  
Where did the rock go? All those 
C                           
feelings that I've learned to 
  Em
ignore?
Am                               
If you flip the record and start 
Em            C                F
over, does it sound the way it 
     G
did before?
C             G
Where did the rock go?
