[Intro] C [Verse 1] C It seems like yesterday, Em but it was long ago. F C Janey was lovely; she was the queen of my nights, G F C there in the darkness with the radio, playing low and C The secrets that we shared, Em the mountains that we moved F C Caught like wildfire out of control, F G ‘till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove. Am G C And I remember what she said to me, Am F C how she swore that it never would end. Am G F I remember how she held me, oh so tight. F G Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then. [Chorus] C Em F C Against the wind, we were running against the wind. F Em Dm F C We were young and strong, we were running against the wind. [Verse 2] C And the years rolled slowly past. Em And I found myself alone. F C Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends, G F C I found myself further and further from my home. And I guess I lost my way. Em There were oh, so many roads. F C I was living to run, and running to live. F G Never worrying about paying, or even how much I owed. Am G C Runnin' 8 miles a minute for months at a time, Am F C breaking all of the rules that would bend. Am G F I begin to find myself just searching, G searching for shelter again and again. [Chorus] C Em F C Against the wind, a little something against the wind. F Em Dm F C I found myself seeking shelter against the wind.

Am G F Deadlines and commitments; G what to leave in, what to leave out. [Chorus] C Em F Against the wind, C I'm still running against the wind. F Em Dm F C I'm older now but still running against the wind. F Em G F Well, I'm older now but still running against the wind.

F Against the wind (Let the cowboys ride) C Against the wind (They’ll be riding against the wind) F Against the wind (Against the wind) C Against the wind (riding against the wind) F Against the wind C Against the wind (Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride……) *Fades out*
