C5                        E5     
It seems like yesterday, but it was a long time ago 
F5                           C5 
She was lovely, she was the queen of my nights 
G5                              F5 
There in the darkness with the radio playing low. 
C5                           E5 
The secrets that we shared, the mountains that we moved 
F5                                 C5 
Caught like a wild fire out of control 
               F5                            
Till there was nothing left to burn  
                    G5 
and nothing left to prove. 
      A5       G5                C5 
And I remember what she said to me 
              A5            F5     C5 
How she swore that it would never end 
  A5               G5              F5 
I remember how she held me oh, so tight, 
                                          G5       C5 
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then. 
 

            E5 
Against the wind, 
F5                           C5 
We were running against the wind. 
        F5         E5 
We were young and strong, 
        D5       F5           C5 
We were running against the wind.  
 
The years rolled slowly past, 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 worrying about paying or how much I owed. 
 
Movin' eight miles a minute for months at a time, 
 
Breakin' all of the rules that would bend. 
 
I began to find myself 
 
Searching for shelter again and again. 
 
Chorus: 
 
Against the wind, 
 
We were running against the wind. 
 
I found myself seeking 
 
Shelter against the wind. 
 
All those drifter's days are passed me now 
 
I've got so much more to think about 
 
Deadlines and commitments, 
 
What to leave in and what to leave out. 
 

E5 
Against the wind, 
F5                           C5 
We were running against the wind. 
         F5     E5 
Well I'm older now and still  
G5                   F5 
Running against the wind 
            C5 
Against the wind
