[Intro:] G
[Verse]
G
It seems like yesterday,
Bm
but it was long ago.
C G
Janey was lovely; she was the queen of my nights,
D C G
there in the darkness with the radio, playing low and
G
The secrets that we shared,
Bm
the mountains that we moved
C G
Caught like wildfire out of control,
C D
‘till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove.
Em D G
And I remember what she said to me,
Em C G
how she swore that it never would end.
Em D C
I remember how she held me, oh so tight.
C D
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.
[Chorus]
G Bm C G
Against the wind, we were running against the wind.
C Bm Am C G
We were young and strong, we were running against the wind.
[Verse]
G
And the years rolled slowly past.
Bm
And I found myself alone.
C G
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends,
D C G
I found myself further and further from my home.
And I guess I lost my way.
Bm
There were oh, so many roads.
C G
I was living to run, and running to live.
C D
Never worrying about paying, or even how much I owed.
Em D G
Runnin' 8 miles a minute for months at a time,
Em C G
breaking all of the rules that would bend.
Em D C
I begin to find myself just searching,
D
searching for shelter again and again.
[Chorus]
G Bm C G
Against the wind, a little something against the wind.
C Bm Am C G
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind.
[INSTRUMENTAL]
G Bm C G D C G Bm C G C D
[Verse]
Em D G
Well those drifter's days are past me now,
Em C G
I've got so much more to think about.
Em D C
Deadlines and commitments;
D
what to leave in, what to leave out.
[Chorus]
G Bm C
Against the wind,
G
I'm still running against the wind.
C Bm Am C G
I'm older now but still running against the wind.
C Bm D C
Well, I'm older now but still running against the wind.
G
Against the wind
C
Against the wind (Still running)
G
Against the wind (I’m still running against the wind)
C
Against the wind (I’m still running)
G
Against the wind (I’m still running against the wind)
C
Against the wind (Still running)
G
Against the wind (Running against the wind, running against the wind)
C
Against the wind (See the young man run)
G
Against the wind (Watch the young man run)
C
Against the wind (Watch the young man running)
G
Against the wind (He’ll be running against the wind)
C
Against the wind (Let the cowboys ride)
G
Against the wind (Ohh...)
C
Against the wind (Let the cowboys ride)
G
Against the wind (They’ll be riding against the wind)
C
Against the wind (Against the wind)
G
Against the wind (riding against the wind)
C
Against the wind
G
Against the wind (Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride……)
