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:
   |G   |G  |G   |G   |G   |Bm   |Bm  |C   |G   |D   |C  |
   |G   |G  |Bm  |Bm  |C   |G    | C  |D   |D  |

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.

            G
Against the wind -He’ll be running against the wind-
