Against The Wind Acordes

[Jennings]
C
It seems like yesterday
Em
But it was long ago
F                               C
She was lovely, she was the queen of our nights
G                               F
There in the darkness, with the radio playing low
C
  The secrets that we shared
Em
The mountains that we moved
F                          C
Caught like a wildfire and out of control
          F                        G
There was nothin' left to burn and nothin' left to prove
 
 
[Cash]
         Am          G           C
And I remember what she said to me
         Am                 F     C
How she swore that it would never end
     Am         G          F
I remember how she held me oh so tight
F                              G
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

C             Em
  Against the wind,
Em       F                   C
We were running against the wind.
        F         Em
We were young and strong,
        Dm       F           C
We were running against the wind.

    C
The years rolled slowly past
Em
I found myself alone
F                            C
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
G                                           F
I found myself further and further from my home
 
C
I guess I lost my way
          Em
There were oh so many roads
      F                  C
I was livin' to run and runnin' to live
       F                       G
Never worryin' about payin' or how much I owed
 
       Am             G          C
Movin' eight miles a minute for months at a time
         Am       F            C
Breakin' all the rules I could bend
  Am        G           F
I began to find myself searchin'
 F                               G
Searchin' for shelter again and again

C             Em
  Against the wind
Em       F                   C
We were runnin' against the wind
   F         Em         Dm        F         C
I found myself seekin' shelter against the wind

          Am         G        C
All those drifter's days are past me now
          Am      F               C
I've got so much more to think about
 
 
[Cash]
Am       G                F
Deadlines and commitments
F                                G
What to leave in, what to leave out
