[Intro]    C

C                            Em                                      F                      C
It seems like yesterday, but it was a long time ago She was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
G                                     F               C                                       Em
There in the darkness with the radio playing low. The secrets that we shared, the mountains that
                    F                           C                                F                             G
We moved Caught like a wild fire out of control till there was nothing left to burn and nothing
                                    Am        G                  C            Am                  F       C
Left to prove. And I remember what she said to me how she swore that it would never end
    Am             G             F                                                     G
I remember how she held me oh, so tight, 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.



C                                  Em                      F                                 C
The years rolled slowly past, I found myself alone, Surrounded by strangers I thought were my
           G                                F                    C                                        Em
Friends, I found myself further and further from my home. And I guess I lost my way, there were
                                 F                   C                         F                               G
Oh, so many roads. I was livin' to run and runnin' to live, never worrying about paying or how
                                     Am           G            C                   Am                  F
Much I owed. Movin' eight miles a minute for months at a time, breakin? all of the rules that
           C          Am     G          F                         G
Would bend. I began to find myself Searching for shelter again and again.

All those drifter's days are passed me now I've got so much more to think about
Am               G  F                                                 G
_____Deadlines and commitments, what to leave in and what to leave out.


[Chorus]

Against the wind, against the wind ______
