Intro:

G

Verse 1:
G            Bm
It seems like yesterday, 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
G              Bm
The secrets that we shared, the mountains that we moved
C           G
Caught like a wildfire out of control,
        C                    D
'till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove.
   Em      D      G      Em      C      G
And I remember what she said to me, 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

G | G | G | G | G |

Verse 2:
    G             Bm
And the years rolled slowly past, 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.
              Bm
And I guess I lost my way. 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' eight 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 | G | G | G | G | Bm | Bm | C | G | D | C |

Verse 3:
      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         D
Deadlines and commitments; what to leave in, what to leave out.

Chorus:
G      Bm  C               G
Against the wind, I'm still running against the wind.
   C     G    Am      C      G  G
Well, I'm older now but still running against the wind.
   C     G      D          C
Yea, I'm older now but still running against the wind.
