Against The Wind

C
It seems like yesterday
Em
But it was long ago
F                               C
She was lovely, she was the queen of
 our nights
G                             
There in the darkness, with the 
  F
radio playing low
C
  The secrets that we shared
Em
The mountains that we moved
F                          C
Caught like a wildfire and out of 
control
          F                        
There was nothin' left to burn and 
G
nothin' left to prove


[Cash]
         Am          G           C
And I remember what she said to me
         Am                 F     
How she swore that it would never 
C
end
     Am         G          F
I remember how she held me oh so 
tight
F                              G
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't
 know then

  Against the wind,
Em       F                   C
We were running against the wind.
        F         Em
We were young and strong,
Continues after the ad
        Dm       F           C
We were running against the wind.

    C
The years rolled slowly past
Em
I found myself alone
F                            C
Surrounded by strangers I thought 
were my friends
G                                 
I found myself further and further
          F
 from my home

C
I guess I lost my way
          Em
There were oh so many roads
      F                  C
I was livin' to run and runnin' to 
live
       F                       G
Never worryin' about payin' or how 
much I owed

       Am             G       
Movin' eight miles a minute for 
   C
months at a time
         Am       F            C
Breakin' all the rules I could bend
  Am        G           F
I began to find myself searchin'
 F                             
Searchin' for shelter again and 
  G
again

C             Em
  Against the wind
Em       F                   C
We were runnin' against the wind
   F         Em         Dm  
I found myself seekin' shelter 
      F         C
against the wind

[Nelson]
          Am         G        C
All those drifter's days are past me
 now
          Am      F               C
I've got so much more to think about


[Cash]
Am       G                F
Deadlines and commitments
F                                G
What to leave in, what to leave out
