| Seems like yesterday, |
| Em | |
| but it was long ago. |
| F | C | |
| Janey was lovely; she was the | queen of my nights, |
| F | Am | G | |
| There in the darkness with the | radio playing | low. |
| C | |
| And the | Secrets that we shared |
| Em | |
| the mountains that we moved, |
| F | C | |
| Caught like wildfire | out of control - Till there was |
| F | G | |
| nothin left to burn and nothin | left to prove. |
| Am | F | C | |
| And I re | member | what she said to | me |
| Am | F | C | |
| How she | swore that it | never would | end. |
| Am | G | F | |
| I re | member how she | held me, | oh so tight. |
| F | G | |
| Wish I didn't know now what I | didn't know then. |
| C | Em | |
| Against the | wind. |
| F | C | |
| We were runnin against the | wind. |
| Am | Em | |
| We were | young and | strong |
| F | G | C | |
| We were | runnin a | gainst the | wind. |
| C | |
| The years rolled slowly past. |
| Em | |
| And I | found myself alone. |
| F | C | |
| Sur | rounded by strangers I | thought were my friends. |
| F | Am | G | |
| I | found myself further and | further from my | home. |
| C | |
| And I | guess I lost my way. |
| Em | |
| There were | oh, so many roads. |
| F | C | |
| I was | livin' to run, and | runnin' to live, |
| F | Am | G | |
| Never | worryin' about payin', or even | how much I | owed. |
| Am | F | C | |
| Runnin' | 8 miles a | minute for | months at a time. |
| Am | F | C | |
| Breakin' | all of the | rules that would | bend. |
| Am | G | F | |
| I | found my | self just | searchin'... |
| F | G | |
| Searchin' for shelter a | gain and again. |
| C | Em | |
| Against the | wind. |
| F | C | |
| A little somethin' against the | wind. |
| Am | Em | F | G | C | |
| I | found my | self seeking | shelter a | gainst the | wind. |
| C | |
| Well those | drifter's days have passed me now. |
| Em | |
| I've got so much more to think about. |
| F | C | |
| Deadlines and com | mitments. |
| F | G | |
| What to leave in, | What to leave out. |
| C | Em | |
| Against the | wind. |
| F | C | |
| I'm still runnin' against the | wind. |
| Am | Em | F | G | C | |
| I'm | older | now but still | runnin' a | gainst the | wind. |
