[E]
It seems like yesterday, [G#m] but it was long ago
She [A] was lovely, she was [E] the 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 wildfire [E] out of control
[A] There was nothing left to burn [B] and nothing left to prove
And [C#m] I remember [B] what she said [E] to me
How she swore that [F#m] it would never [E] end
I [C#m] remember [B] how she [A] held me oh so tight
Wish I didn't know now [B] what I didn't know then
[E] Against [G#m] the wind, we were [A] running against [E] the wind
We [A] were young [G#m] and strong, [F#m] but just 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 day [E] for months at a time
Breaking [A] all the rules [E] I could bend
I [C#m] began to [B] find [A] myself searching
Searching for [B] shelter again and [E] again
Against [G#m] the wind, we [A] were running against [E] the wind
[A] I found [E] myself [F#m] seeking shelter against [E] the wind
[G#m]

[E] [A]
[B] All [C#m] those [B] drifter's days are [E] past me now
I've [C#m] got so much [A] more to think [E] about
[C#m] [B] Deadlines and [A] commitments, what to leave in, what to [B] leave out
