G It seems like yesterday, Bm but it was long ago. CG Janey was lovely; she was the queen of my nights, DC There in the darkness with the radio playing low. And the G Secrets that we shared Bm the mountains that we moved, CG Caught like wildfire out of control - Till there was CD nothin left to burn and nothin left to prove. And I re- EmDG member what she said to me. . . How she EmCG swore that it never would end. I re- EmDC member how she held me, oh so tight. CD Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.
[Chorus]
GBmCG Against the wind. We were runnin against the wind. We were CCmaj9Am7CG young and strong; we were runnin a-gainst the wind.
[Verse 2] (same as verse 1)
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 livin' to run, and runnin' to live, Never worryin' about payin', or even how much I owed. Runnin' 8 miles a minute for months at a time. Breakin' all of the rules that would bend. I begin to find myself just searchin'... Searchin' for shelter again and again.
[Chorus 2] (same as chorus 1)
Against the wind. A little somethin' 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] (same as chorus 1)
Against the wind. I'm still runnin' against the wind. I'm older now but still runnin' against the wind.
[Outro]
CCmaj9Am7C Well I'm older now and still runnin' a-gainst 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.
