It seems like yesterday,
[G#m] but it was long ago.
She [A] was lovely, and she was the [E] queen of our nights.
[B] There in the darkness, [A] with the radio playing [E] low.
The secrets that we shared,
[G#m] the mountains that we moved,
[A] Caught like a [E] wildfire, out of control.
There [A] was nothing left to burn, [B] and nothing left to prove.
And I [C#m] remember [B] what she said [E] to me,
How she [C#m] swore that [A] it would never [E] end.
I [C#m] remember [B] how she held [A] me oh so tight,
Wish I didn't know now, [B] what I didn't know then.
[E] Against [G#m] the wind, we [A] were running against [E] the wind.
We [A] were young [G#m] and strong, [F#m] but just [A] running against [E] the wind.
The years rolled slowly past, [G#m] I found myself alone.
[A] Surrounded by strangers [E] I thought were my friends.
[B] I found myself [A] further and further from [E] my home.
I guess I lost my way, [G#m] there were oh so many roads.
[A] I was living to run, [E] and running to live.
[A] Never worrying about paying, [B] or how much I owe.
[C#m] Moving eight [B] miles a [E] minute, for months at a time.
[C#m] Breaking all the rules [E] I could bend,
[C#m] I began [B] to find [A] myself searching,
Searching for [B] shelter again and again.
[E] Against [G#m] the wind, we [A] were running against [E] the wind.
[A] I found [E] myself [F#m] seeking shelter [A] against [E] the wind.

[A] [B]
[C#m] All those drifter [B] days are [E] past me now,
[C#m] I've got so much more to [E] think about.
[C#m] [B] Deadlines [A] and commitments, what to leave in, what to [B] leave out.
[E] Against [G#m] the wind, [A] we were running against [E] the wind.
[A] We found [G#m] ourselves seeking [F#m] [A] shelter [E] against the wind.
