Go Against The Wind
View chords used in this chart
[Intro: ](G) (Em) (G) (Em)
(G) Met a girl, out in (Em) Monterray
She had (Am) raven hair, (C) and eyes for (G) me
She kissed me soft, oh but she (Em) loved me hard
She (Am) tried to make me something, (D) I could never be
Now, there's an (C/G) airplane on the runway
That's (G) me on my way out
(Am) Heading for some (D) place, I've never (G) been
And I (C/G) never said goodbye
I never (G) stopped to wonder why
(Am) Sometimes, you just (D) go against the (G) wind
Now (G) some guys, they always take the (Em) easy way
They never (Am) rock the boat, (C) never make no (G) waves
But me...I never could (Em) see it like that
Life's a (Am) little too short - to (D) play it so safe
Repeat Chorus
(Am) I'm just a dreamer (D) travellin' light
(Am) Another rebel, on a (D) one-way flight
(G) (Em) yeah......
Screamin' through the (G) night
Runnin' from the (Em) one I love
Runnin' from a (G) real love (Em)
Fade out...
