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 .

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 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 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 Am C G
i’m older now but still running against the wind .

C Am C G
well , i’m older now but still running against the wind .

C
against the wind
G
against the wind
C
against the wind ( still running )
G
against the wind ( i m still running against the wind )
C
against the wind ( i m still running )
G
against the wind ( i m still running against the wind )
C
against the wind ( still running )
G
against the wind ( running against the wind , running against the wind )
C
against the wind ( see the young man run )
G
against the wind ( watch the young man run )
C
against the wind ( watch the young man running )
G
against the wind ( he ll be running against the wind )
C
against the wind ( let the cowboys ride )
G
against the wind ( ohhhhh )
C
against the wind ( let the cowboys ride )
G
against the wind ( they ll be riding against the wind )
C
against the wind ( against the wind )
G
against the wind ( riding against the wind )
C
against the wind
