INTRO & BRIDGE: G
VERSE 1:
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
There in the darkness with the radio playing low
G
And the secrets that we shared
Bm
the mountains that we moved
C G
Caught like wildfire out of control
D 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 Am7 C G
We were young and strong we were running against the wind
VERSE2:
And the years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worrying about paying or even how much I owed
Runnin' miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I begin to find myself just searching
Searching for shelter again and again
CHORUS 2:
Against the wind A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind
VERSE 3:
(Solo for 1st 2 stanzas of verse)
Well those drifter's days are past me now
I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in What to leave out
CHORUS 3:
Against the wind
I'm still running against the wind
I'm older now but still running against the wind
OUTRO:
C * Am7 C
Well I'm older now and still running against the wind
(alternate G & C to fade)
Against the wind Against the wind Against the wind -- still running
Against the wind -- I'm still running against the wind
Against the wind -- I'm still running
Against the wind -- I'm still running against the wind
Against the wind -- still running
Against the wind -- running against the wind -- running against the wind
Against the wind -- see the young man run
Against the wind -- watch the young man run
Against the wind -- watch the young man running
Against the wind -- he'll be running against the wind
Against the wind -- let the cowboys ride
Against the wind -- Oooh
Against the wind -- let the cowboys ride
Against the wind -- they'll be riding again the wind
Against the wind -- against the wind
Against the wind -- riding against the wind
Against the wind -- against the wind
Ride ride ride ride ride -- against the wind
