Ooohhh, ooohhh, ohhhhh
D       A       G
Ooohhh, ooohhh, ohhhhh 2x  

        D
Well we busted out of class
            A
Had to get away from those fools
           G
We learned more from a three minute record baby
        D               A
Than we ever learned in school
          D
Tonight I hear the neighborhood 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 we swore we'd always remember
     G          A     D
No retreat baby no surrender
     D               A                     G        D
Like soldiers in the winter's night with a vow to defend
     G          A     D
No retreat baby no surrender

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

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

G                            A               D
Lay lay lay lay lay lay lay, lay lay lay lay lay
G                            D               A
Lay lay lay lay lay lay lay, lay lay lay lay lay 2x

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

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

D       A       G
Ooohhh, ooohhh, ohhhhh
D       A       G
Ooohhh, ooohhh, ohhhhh 2x
