1. Well, we busted out of class, had to get
away from the fools,
G
we
learned more from a 3-minute record, baby,
D A
than we ever learned in school.
D
Tonight I hear the
neighbourhood drummer sound,
A
I can feel my heart begin to
pound,
G
you say you’re tired and you just want to close
your eyes,
D A
and
follow your dreams down.
D A G
D
Well, we made a promise, swore we’d always remember,
G A D
no retreat, baby, no surrender.
D A G D
Like soldiers on a winter’s night with a vow to defend,
G A D
no retreat, baby, no surrender.

2. Well, now young faces grow sad and old and hearts of fire grow cold,
G
we
swore, blood brothers against the wind,
D A
I’m ready to grow young again.
D
A
And hear your sister’s voice
calling us home across the open yard,
G
maybe
we’ll cut some place of our own
D A
with
these drums and these guitars.
D A G D
Well, we made a promise, swore we’d always remember,
G A D
no retreat, baby, no surrender.
D A G D
Blood brothers on a stormy night with a vow to defend,
G A D
no retreat, baby, no surrender.

3. Well, on the streets tonight, the lights growing dim,
A
the
walls of my room are closing in.
G
D A
There’s a war outside still
raging, you say it ain’t ours anymore to win.
D
A
I want to sleep beneath the
peaceful skies in my lover’s bed,
G
with
that wild open country in my eyes
D
A
and
these romantic dreams in my head.
D A G D
Because we made a promise, swore we’d always remember,
G A D
no retreat, baby, no surrender.

Blood brothers in a stormy night with a vow to defend,

no retreat, baby, no surrender,
