Against The Wind

	  		 

Intro: G 

G 
It seems like yesterday,   
Bm 
but it was long ago. 
C                             G 
Jenny was lovely; she was the queen of my nights, 
D                              C                       G 
there in the darkness with the radio, playing low now. 
G 
And the secrets that we shared,   
Bm 
the mountains that we moved 
C                    G 
Caught like wildfire out of control, 
                 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           Bm              Am       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                   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. 
      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       Bm            Am       C          G 
I 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;   
                  D 
what to leave in, what to leave out. 

 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.
