[Verse]

         F                                C
Well, we busted out of class, had to get away from the fools
           Bb                                         F                      C
We learned more from a 3 minute record, baby, than we ever learned in school
          F
Tonight I hear that neighbourhood 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


[Chorus]

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


[Verse 2]

Well now young faces grow sad and old and hearts of fire grow cold
We swore blood brothers against the wind, I'm ready to grow young again
And hear your sister's voice calling us home across the open yard
Maybe we'll find someplace of our own with these drums and these guitars

[Chorus]

Well, we made a promise, swore we'd always remember,
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Blood brothers on a stormy night with a vow to remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender.


[Bridge]

F                               C
   Lay lay lay lay lay lay, lay lay lay lay lay lay
F                               C              Bb
   Lay lay lay lay lay lay, lay lay lay lay lay lay
F                               C
   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
