Against The Wind

G

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 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.
