[Verse]
Am Dm-Dm Am
You had something to hide
Am Dm-Dm Am
(You) should have hidden it, shouldn’t you
Am Dm-Dm Am
Now you’re not satisfied
Am Dm-Dm Am
With what you’re being put through
F
It’s just time to pay the price
Dm
For not listening to advice
G E7
And de-ciding in your youth
Am Dm/F Am
On the poli-cy of truth
[Verse]
(Am Dm Dm Am pattern)
Things could be so different now
It used to be so civilised
You will always wonder how
It could have been if you’d only lied
F
It’s too late to change events
Dm
It’s time to face the consequence
G E7
For de-livering the proof
Am Dm/F Am Dm/F Am
In the poli-cy of truth
[Chorus]
C Dm Am Am-Am11-Am
Never again, Is what you swore, The time before
C Dm Am Am-Am11-Am
Never again, Is what you swore, The time before
(Jam along with the saxophone part using Am-Am11-Am)
(hold an Am for the first part of the last verse)
[Verse]
Now you’re standing there tongue tied
You’d better learn your lesson well
Hide what you have to hide
And tell what you have to tell
F
You’ll see your problems multiplied
Dm
If you continually decide
G E7
To faithfully pur-sue
Am
The poli-cy of truth
(twice)
C Dm Am Am-Am11-Am
Never again, Is what you swore, The time before
[Instrumental break]
Am Dm/F Am (repeat 16 times)
[Outro]
Am F Am
Never again, Is what you swore, The time before
Am F Am
Never again, Is what you swore, The time before
