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

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.

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.
