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
 (  DmDm  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
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)
 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
Never  again, Is what  you swore, The time  before
Never  again, Is what  you swore, The time  before
 (Repeat and fade)
