F Well we busted out of class C Had to get away from those fools A# We learned more from a three minute record baby F C Than we ever learned in school F Tonight I hear the neighborhood drummer sound C I can feel my heart begin to pound A# You say you're tired and you just want to close your eyes F C And follow your dreams down Chorus: F C Well we made a promise we swore A# F we'd always remember A# C F No retreat baby no surrender F C Like soldiers in the winter's night A# F with a vow to defend A# C F No retreat baby no surrender 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 yards Well maybe we'll cut someplace of our own With these drums and these guitars Chorus: 'Cause we made a promise we swore we'd always remember No retreat, baby, no surrender Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend No retreat, baby, no surrender Hey! Now on the street tonight the lights grow dim The walls of my room are closing in There's a war outside still raging You say it ain't ours anymore to win I want to sleep beneath peaceful skies In my lover's bed With a wide open country in my eyes And these romantic dreams in my head Chorus: Because we made a promise we swore we'd always remember No retreat, baby, no surrender Like brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend No retreat, baby, no surrender No retreat, baby, no surrender You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  C  F  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
