Intro
[G]
Verse 1
[G]It seems like yesterday,
[Bm] but it was long ago.
[C]Janey was lovely; she was the [G]queen of my nights,
[D]there in the darkness with the [C]radio, playing low.[G]
And the secrets that we shared,
[Bm] the mountains that we moved
[C]Caught like wildfire [G]out of control,
till there was [C]nothing left to burn and nothing [D]left to prove.
Pre-Chorus
And I [Em]remember [D]what she said to [G]me,
how she [Em]swore that it [C]never would [G]end.
I [Em]remember how she [D]held me, [C]oh so tight.
[C]Wish I didn't know now what I [D]didn't know then.
Chorus
[G]Against the [Bm]wind,[C] we were running against the [G]wind.
We were [C]young and [Bm]strong, we were [Am]running [C]against the [G]wind.
Verse 2
And the [G]years rolled slowly past.
[Bm] And I found myself alone.
[C]Surrounded by strangers I [G]thought were my friends,
[D]I found myself further and [C]further from my [G]home.
And I guess I lost my way.
[Bm] There were oh, so many roads.
I was [C]living to run, and [G]running to live,
never [C]worrying about paying, or even how [D]much I owed.
Pre-Chorus
Movin' [Em]8 miles a [D]minute for months at a [G]time,
breaking [Em]all of the [C]rules that would [G]bend.
I [Em]begin to [D]find myself just [C]searching,
searching for shelter [D]again and again.
Chorus
[G]Against the [Bm]wind,[C] a little something against the [G]wind.
I [C]found [Bm]myself seeking [Am]shelter [C]against the [G]wind.
Interlude
Piano solo over verse
Pre-Chorus
Well those [Em]drifter's [D]days are past me [G]now,
I've got [Em]so much [C]more to think [G]about.
[Em]Deadlines and [D][C]commitments;
what to leave in, [D]what to leave out.
Chorus
[G]Against the [Bm]wind,[C]
I'm still running against the [G]wind.
I'm [C]older [Bm]now but still [Am]running [C]against the [G]wind.
Well, [C]I'm older [Bm]now but still [D7]running against the wind.
