Cadd9             Dadd4  Cadd9             Dadd4
Back when I was younger, wild and bold and free

Cadd9         Dadd4           G       D/F#  Em
I can still remember, how the music used to be

Cadd9               Dadd4    Cadd9          Dadd4
Chords like rolling thunder, loud beyond control

Cadd9          Dadd4         G        D/F#   Em
Every note and lyric branded right across my soul
[Chorus 1]
C             G
Where did the rock go

            C                         Bm
Where's the rush of those electric guitars

Am                                   Em
Where are all those voices raised to heaven

Am                C        G
Blazing down like shooting stars

        C            G
Tell me where is the passion

            C                           Bm
Where's the rattle and the roar and the buzz

Am                                   Em
Where do last year's one-hit-wonders go to

         Am              C      G
And what happened to the girl I was
[Verse 2]
Cadd9         Dadd4  Cadd9        Dadd4
Somehow I got older, year by busy year

Cadd9                Dadd4          G        D/F#  Em
Guess the songs kept playing, but I didn't stop to hear

Cadd9              Dadd4   Cadd9              Dadd4
All that youth and swagger turned to grown-up doubt

       Cadd9             Dadd4           G      D/F# Em
as the world spun like a record, and the music faded out
[Chorus 2]
C             G
Where did the rock go

            C                           Bm
Where's the pounding of the drums in my veins

Am                               Em
When did all the static fill the airwaves

Am                   C      G
When it's gone, then what remains

        C             G
Tell me where did the time go

            C                            Bm
Where's the joy I used to know, way back when
[Bridge]
            F             C
Where's the power and the beauty

         G
Then the frantic end, the rapture

            F            C
Where's the magic of the moments

     G
only rock could ever capture

        F              C
Now the only thing I'm hearing

        G
are the echoes disappearing
[Verse 3]
Cadd9         Dadd4     Cadd9            Dadd4
Sorry for the outburst, please, I'll be okay

Cadd9               Dadd4           G       D/F# Em
Let's keep this our secret, who'd believe it anyway

         Cadd9         Dadd4     Cadd9          Dadd4
We'll pretend it never happened, file it and forget

       Cadd9            Dadd4               G       D/F# Em
Still, thanks for the reminder that there's music in me yet
[Chorus 3]
C             G
Where did the rock go

          C                            Bm
All those feelings that I learned to ignore

Am                               Em
If you flip the record and start over

        Am               C     G
does it sound the way it did before

C             G
Where did the rock go
