        F
Well we busted out of class
            C
Had to get away from those fools
           Bb
We learned more from a three minute record baby
        F               C
Than we ever learned in school
          F
Tonight I hear the neighborhood drummer sound
      C
I can feel my heart begin to pound
               Bb
You say you're tired and you just want to close your eyes
    F                  C
And follow your dreams down


        F      C                     Bb        F
Well we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
     Bb          C     F
No retreat baby no surrender
     F               C                     Bb        F
Like soldiers in the winter's night with a vow to defend
     Bb          C     F
No retreat baby no surrender


     F
Well now young faces grow sad and old
    C
And hearts of fire grow cold
   Bb
We swore blood brothers against the wind
        F             C
Now I'm ready to grow young again
    F
And hear your sister's voice calling us home
 C
Across the open yard
     Bb
Well maybe we can cut someplace of our own
           F                  C
With these drums and these guitars


        F      C                     Bb        F
Well we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
     Bb          C     F
No retreat baby no surrender
      F               C                   Bb        F
Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend
     Bb          C     F
No retreat baby no surrender


F                            C               F
Lay lay lay lay lay lay lay, lay lay lay lay lay
F                            Bb               C
Lay lay lay lay lay lay lay, lay lay lay lay lay  2x


         F
Well now on the streets tonight the lights grow dim
    C
The walls of my room are closing in
          Bb
There's a war outside still raging
                 F               C
You say it ain t ours anymore to win
          F
I want to sleep beneath peaceful skies
C
In my lover's bed
         Bb
With the wide open country in my eyes
          F                     C
And these romantic dreams in my head


           F      C                     Bb        F
Because we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
     Bb          C     F
No retreat baby no surrender
      F               C                   Bb        F
Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend
     Bb          C     F
No retreat baby no surrender
     Bb          C     F
No retreat baby no surrender
