| It seems like yesterday, |
| Bm | |
| but it was long ago. |
| C | G | |
| Janey was lovely; she was the | queen of my nights, |
| D | C | |
| There in the darkness with the | radio playing low. And the |
| G | |
| Secrets that we shared |
| Bm | |
| the mountains that we moved, |
| C | G | |
| Caught like wildfire | out of control - Till there was |
| C | D | |
| nothin left to burn and nothin left to | prove. And I re- |
| Em | D | G | |
| member | what she said to | me. . . How she |
| Em | C | G | |
| swore that it | never would | end. I re- |
| Em | D | C | |
| member how she | held me, | oh so tight. |
| C | D | |
| Wish I didn't know now what I | didn't know then. |

| VERSE2: |
| And the years rolled slowly past. |
| And I found myself alone. |
| Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends. |
| I found myself further and further from my home. And I |
| Guess I lost my way. |
| There were oh, so many roads. |
| I was livin' to run, and runnin' to live, |
| Never worryin' about payin', or even how much I owed. |
| Runnin' 8 miles a minute for months at a time. |
| Breakin' all of the rules that would bend. |
| I begin to find myself just searchin'... |
| Searchin' for shelter again and again. |
| CHORUS 2: |
| Against the wind. A little somethin' against the wind. |
| I found myself seeking shelter against the wind. |
| VERSE 3: |
| (Solo for 1st 2 stanzas of verse) |
| Well those drifter's days are past me now. I've got |
| so much more to think about. |
| Deadlines and commitments. |
| What to leave in, What to leave out. |
| CHORUS 3: |
| Against the wind. I'm still runnin' against the wind. |
| I'm older now but still runnin' against the wind. |
| OUTRO: |
| C | Cmaj9 | Am7 | C | |
| Well I'm | older | now and still r | unnin' a-gai | nst the wind. |
| (alternate G & C to fade) |
| Against the wind. Against the wind. Against the wind -- still running. |
| Against the wind -- I'm still running against the wind. |
| Against the wind -- I'm still running. |
| Against the wind -- I'm still running against the wind. |
| Against the wind -- still running. |
| Against the wind -- running against the wind -- running against the wind |
| Against the wind -- see the young man run. |
| Against the wind -- watch the young man run. |
| Against the wind -- watch the young man running. |
| Against the wind -- he'll be running against the wind. |
| Against the wind -- let the cowboys ride. |
| Against the wind -- Oooh |
| Against the wind -- let the cowboys ride. |
| Against the wind -- they'll be riding again the wind. |
| Against the wind -- against the wind. |
| Against the wind -- riding against the wind. |
| Against the wind -- against the wind. |
| Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride -- against the wind. |
