Back when I was younger, wild and bold and free

I can still remember, how the music use to be
C majorC D11D11 C majorC D11D11 C majorC D11D11 G+G G/F# E minorEm
Chords like rolling thunder, loud beyond control, every note and lyric branded right across my soul

Where did the rock go? Where's the rush of those electric guitars?

Somehow I got older, year by busy year. Guess the songs kept playing, but I didn't stop to hear.
C majorC D11D11 C majorC D11D11 C majorC D11D11
All that youthful swagger turned to grown-up doubt, and the world spun like a record,

but the music fad - ed out.

When did all the static fill the airwaves? When it's gone then what remains?
C majorC G+G C majorC B minorBm
Tell me, where did the time go? Where's the joy I used to know way back when?
Power Bridge:
FF C majorC G+G
Where's the power and the beauty, and the frenzy and the rapture?
FF C majorC G+G
Where's the magic of the moments only rock could ever capture?
FF C majorC G+G
Now the only thing I'm hearing are the echoes disappearing...

Sorry for the outburst, please, I'll be okay. Lets keep this our secret, who'd believe it anyway?

We'll pretend it never happened. File it and forget.

Still, thanks for the reminder that there's music in me yet.

Where did the rock go?
