Intro: G, G, G, G Verse 1: ------- G ' It seems like yesterday, Bm ' But it was long ago. C G Jenny was lovely; she was the queen of my nights, D C There in the darkness with the radio, playing low. G ' And the secrets that we shared, Bm ' The mountains that we moved C G Caught like wildfire out of control, C D ' Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove. Pre-Chorus: ---------- [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. Chorus: ------ G Bm C G Against the wind, we were running against the wind. [C Bm ][Am C ] G ' ' ' We were young and strong, we were running against the wind. Verse 2: ------- G ' And the years rolled slowly past. Bm ' 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. G ' And I guess I lost my way. Bm ' There were oh, so many roads. C G I was living to run, and running to live, C D ' Never worrying about paying, or even how much I owed. Pre-Chorus: ---------- [Em D] G Runnin' 8 miles a minute for months at a time, [Em C] G breaking all of the rules that would bend. [Em D] C I begin to find myself just searching, C D Searching for shelter again and again. Chorus: ------ G Bm C G Against the wind, we were running against the wind. [C Bm ][Am C ] G ' ' ' We were young and strong, we were running against the wind.
