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        G               Am7       C          G
We were young and strong, we were running against the wind.

VERSE2:
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
I found myself further and further from my home.
G
  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,
       D                             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.
C                        D
Searching for shelter again and again.

CHORUS 2:
G           Bm   C                            G
Against the wind.   A little something against the wind.
  C        G            Am7      C         G
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind.

VERSE 3:
(Solo for 1st 2 stanzas of 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.
C                  D
What to leave in. What to leave out.

CHORUS 3:
G           Bm   C                              G
Against the wind. I'm still running against the wind.
    C      G            Am7      C          G
I'm older now but still running against the wind.

OUTRO:
         C     G             Am7                 C
Well I'm older now and still running against the wind.
