Against the wind

Bob Seger

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