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.
