Verse:
You had something to hide
(You) should have hidden it, shouldn’t you
Now you’re not satisfied
With what you’re being put through
It’s just time to pay the price
For not listening to advice
And de-ciding in your youth
On the poli-cy of truth
Verse: (Am DmDm 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
It’s too late to change events
It’s time to face the consequence
For de-livering the proof
In the poli-cy of truth
Chorus:
Never again, Is what you swore, The time before
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
You’ll see your problems multiplied
If you continually decide
To faithfully pur-sue
The poli-cy of truth
(twice)
Never again, Is what you swore, The time before
Instrumental break - Am Dm/F Am (repeat 16 times)
Never again, Is what you swore, The time before
Never again, Is what you swore, The time before
(Repeat and fade)
