Against the wind
G ~ - Bm
1. It
seems like yesterday, but it was long ago,
C G
Janey
was lovely, she was the queen of my nights,
D C
there
in the darkness with the radio playing low. And ...
G
- Bm
And the secrets that we
shared, the mountains that we
moved,
C G
caught
like a wildfire out of control
C D - D7
till
there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove.
Em D G
And I remember what she said
to me,
Em C
- G
how
she swore that it never would end.
Em D
C
I remember how she held me, oh,
so tight,
C D
wish
I didn't know now what I didn't know then.
G Bm - C G
Against the wind, we were running against the wind,
C
D Am C
G
we were young and strong, we
were running against the wind.
G - Bm
2. And the years rolled slowly
past, and I found myself alone,
C G
surrounded
by strangers I thought were my friends,
D C
I found myself further and
further from my home. And I
G
- Bm
guess
I lost my way, there were,
oh, so many roads,
C G
I was living to run, and
running to live,
C D - D7
never
worrying about paying, or even how much I owed.
Em D G
Movin'
8 miles a minute for months at a time,
Em C
G
breaking
all of the rules that would bend.
Em D C
I began to find myself just
searching.
C D
searching
for shelter again and again.
G
Bm - C
G
Against the wind, a little something against the wind,
C D Am C G
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind.
3. instrumental = verse 2, lines 1 - to 6
Em D
G
Well, those drifter's days are
past me now,
Em C
G
I've got so much more to think
about,
Em D C
deadlines
and commitments,
C - D
what
to leave in, what to leave out.
G
Bm - C G
Against the wind, I'm
still running against the wind,
C D Am
C G
I'm older now but still running against the wind.
C G
D
C G
Well, I'm older now and still running against the wind, against the
wind.
C
G
+ Against the wind, still
running, against the wind .....
+ repeat last line 10 x (with varying lyrics)
