Intro:

C


Verse 1:
C
Well, we busted out of class
           G
Had to get away from those fools
   F
We learned more from a three-minute record, baby
     C               G
Than we ever learned in school
        C
Tonight I hear the neighborhood drummer sound
      G
I can feel your heart begin to pound
               F
You say you're tired and you just want to close your eyes
    C                  G
And follow your dreams down

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


Verse 2:
C
Well, now young faces grow sad and old
    G
And hearts of fire grow cold
   F
We swore blood brothers against the wind
    C             G
I'm ready to grow young again
    C
And hear your sister's voice calling us home
 G
Across the open yards
           F
Well maybe we can cut someplace of our own
           C                  G
With these drums and these guitars



Chorus:
          C      G                     F        C
'Cause we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
     F            G     C  F C
No retreat, baby, no surrender
                      G                   F        C
Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend
     F            G     C  F C  G F
No retreat, baby, no surrender


Post-Chorus:
F              G                  C
Li li li li li li li, li li-li li li
F              C                  G
Li li li li li li li, li li-li li li
F              G                  C
Li li li li li li li, li li-li li li
F              C                  G
Li li li li li li li, li li-li li li


Verse 3:
    C
Now on the street tonight the lights grow dim
    G
The walls of my room are closing in
          F
There's a war outside still raging
                 C               G
You say it ain't ours anymore to win
          C
I want to sleep beneath peaceful skies
G
In my lover's bed
          F
With this wide open country in my eyes
            C                   G
And these romantic dreams in my head


Out-Chorus:
           C      G                     F        C
Because we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
     F            G     C
No retreat, baby, no surrender
                      G                   F        C
Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend
     F            G     C F C
No retreat, baby, no surrender
     F            G     C F    C
No retreat, baby, no surrender
