G
Like a storm cloud I'm eager when you go wild
Am                                C
Calm again. I'm waiting for the wrong to win.
                   G
Drop the bomb and get your story out and get it on.
G                                             Am
In a haze the beginning of your day is gunna fall
down
Gotta get back up but at your own pace.
C
Gotta get your cup and find your way out
of your own maze.
G
Yeah boy what you said now.
Hide the bookthrow it in the waste
     Am                              C
So strong like you belong cause you do
belong wheather
                      G
right or wrong you belong.

             D                               C
I'm on your side. If you fail at least you tried.

To keep your aching, celebrating,
              Em
wonder making heart alive.
           D                         C
And your pride. Don't keep it all inside.

Don't keep your aching celebrating wondermaking
  D
heart alone.
Write your own song!

Chorus:
G                         Am
What ever happened to our inner glow.
D                          G
What ever happened to the song, the soul
D/F#              Em
the me I used to know.
                          Am
What ever happened to my radio.
D                          G
What ever happened to the song.

So here's a preview, shove it under old-new
Or call it rock or pop or Bach or funk
Goddamn, where did we go wrong?
Now there's a category for every song

Yeah, we only want to sing when we want to
Yeah, we only want a dream we can flaunt to
Yeah, we only want to fly by the side
Making love to the rhythm, be a Jekyll and a Hyde
Yeah, we only want a field we can run through
Yeah, we only want a beat we can drum to
Yeah, we only want to fly by the side
Making love to the rhythm, be a Jekyll and a Hyde

So stride; if you fail, at least you tried
To keep your aching, celebrating,
wonder-making heart alive
Yeah, and pride don't keep it all inside
Don't keep your aching, celebrating,
wonder-making heart alone
Write your own song

Chorus:
Whatever happened to our inner glow?
Whatever happened to the song
The soul, the me I used to know?
Whatever happened to my radio?
Whatever happened to the song?
Gonna wake up strong, yeah
We're all gonna wake up strong
Gonna wake up strong, yeah
We're all gonna wake up strong
Gonna wake up strong, yeah
We're all gonna wake up strong
Yeah, write your own song

Gonna wake up strong, yeah
We're all gonna wake up strong
Gonna wake up strong, yeah
We're all gonna wake up strong
Gonna wake up strong, yeah
We're writing our own songs

Yeah, we only want to sing when we want to
Yeah, we only want a dream we can flaunt to
Yeah, we only want to fly by the side
Making love to the rhythm, be a Jekyll and a Hyde

Chorus:
Whatever happened to our inner glow?
(Yeah, we only want a beat we can drum to)
Whatever happened to the song
The soul, the me I used to know?
(Yeah, we only want a dream we can flaunt to)
Whatever happened to my radio?
(The rhythm, be a Jekyll and a Hyde)
