C Em
It seems like yesterday, but it was a long time ago
F C
She was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
G F
There in the darkness with the radio playing low.
C Em
The secrets that we shared, the mountains that we moved
F C
Caught like a wild fire out of control
F
Till there was nothing left to burn
G
and nothing left to prove.
Am G C
And I remember what she said to me
Am F C
How she swore that it would never end
Am G F
I remember how she held me oh, so tight,
G C
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.
Chorus:
Em
Against the wind,
F C
We were running against the wind.
F Em
We were young and strong,
Dm F C
We were running against the wind.
C Em
The years rolled slowly past, I found myself alone,
F C
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends,
G F
I found myself further and further from my home.
C Em
And I guess I lost my way, there were oh, so many roads.
F C
I was livin' to run and runnin' to live,
F G
Never worrying about paying or how much I owed.
Am G C
Movin' eight miles a minute for months at a time,
Am G F
Breakin' all of the rules that would bend.
Am G
I began to find myself
F G C
Searching for shelter again and again.
Chorus:
Em
Against the wind,
F C
We were running against the wind.
F Em
We were young and strong,
Dm F C
We were running against the wind.
Am G C
All those drifter's days are passed me now
Am G F
I've got so much more to think about
Am G
Deadlines and commitments,
F G C
What to leave in and what to leave out.
Chorus:
Em
Against the wind,
F C
We were running against the wind.
F Em
Well I'm older now and still
G F
Running against the wind
C
Against the wind
