G  x 2

G
It seems like yesterday
Bm
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 the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like wildfire out of control
               C                                      D(sus4,sus2)
Till there was nothin left to burn and nothin 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

    We were young and strong, we were runnin against the wind

And 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' eight miles a minute for months at a time
  Breakin' all of the rules that would bend
  I begin to find myself just searchin'
  Searchin' for shelter again and again

    Against the wind
    A little somethin' against the wind
    I found myself seeking shelter against the wind

G  Bm  C G D C G  Bm  C G C D D  w/ solo

  Well those drifter's days are past me now
  I've got so much more to think about
  Deadlines and commitments
  What to leave in, what to leave out

    Against the wind
    I'm still runnin' against the wind
    I'm older now but still runnin' against the wind

             C     C/B           Am7     Am7
    Well I'm older now and still runnin'

            C                 G
