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
