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
C 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.

G Bm C G
          Against the wind.       We were running against the wind.
C C/B Am7 C G
We were young and strong, we were     running against the wind.

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,
C 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.
D
Searching for shelter again and again.

G Bm C G
          Against the wind.          A little something against the wind.
C C/B Am7 G
found myself seeking shelter against the wind.

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.

Against the wind -- I'm still running
Against the wind -- I'm still running against the wind.
Against the wind -- I'm still running.
Against the wind -- I'm still against the wind
Against the wind -- still running.
Against the wind -- running against the wind, running against the wind
Against the wind -- see the young man run.
Against the wind -- watch the young man run.
Against the wind -- watch the young man running.
Against the wind -- he'll be running against the wind.
Against the wind -- let the cowboys ride.
Against the wind -- Oooh
Against the wind -- let the cowboys ride.
Against the wind -- they'll be riding against the wind.
Against the wind -- against the wind.
Against the wind -- riding against the wind.
Against the wind
Against the wind -- Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride -- against the wind.
