  Seems like yesterday,  
E5                       | 
   but it was long ago.
F5                               C5                     | 
  Janey was lovely; she was the queen of my nights,
F5                              A5              G5               | 
There in the darkness with the radio   playing low.   And the


C5                         | 
  Secrets that we shared  
E5                              | 
  the mountains that we moved,
F5                    C5                                   |  
Caught like wildfire out of control  -  Till there was 
F5                                      G5                     | 
nothin left to burn and nothin left to prove.     And I re-
A5     F5                C5                 | 
member what she said to me. . .  How she 
A5            F5           C5              | 
swore that it never would end.     I re-
A5             G5         F5             | 
member how she held me,  oh so tight.
F5                             G5                  | 
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.

CHORUS:

  Against the wind.       We were   runnin against the wind.  We were 
A5        E5               F5        G5           |  C5
young and strong;  we were runnin a-gainst the   wind.

VERSE2:

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 found 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 have passed 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.

ENDING:
         A5    E5            F5         G5          F5 
Well I'm older now but still runnin' a-gainst the wind.

  Against the wind.  Against the wind...   (repeat & fade)
