[Intro]
 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                       G
there in the darkness with the radio, playing low and
 G
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.
 
 
[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
And the years rolled slowly past.  
 Bm
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. 
 
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.
 
 
[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.
 
 
[Instrumental]

[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
Deadlines and commitments;  
                   D
what to leave in, what to leave out.
 
 
[Chorus]
  G          Bm   C
Against the wind,
                               G
I'm still running against the wind.
     C     Bm             Am       C          G
I'm older now but still running against the wind.
 
       C          Bm             D                    C
Well, I'm older now but still running against the wind.
