[Intro]
Am Dm/F - Dm/F Am [Bassline] x4
Am Dm/F - Dm/F Am [Riff] x4

[Verse 1]
Am                     Dm/F Dm/F Am
You had something to hide
            Am                      Dm/F Dm/F Am
Should have hidden it, shouldn’t you
Am                      Dm/F Dm/F Am
Now you’re not satisfied
     Am                           Dm/F Dm/F 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 deciding in your youth
           Am         Dm/F Dm/F Am
On the policy of truth

[Verse 2]
             Am                 Dm/F Dm/F Am
Things could be so different now
           Am             Dm/F Dm/F Am
It used to be so civilised
Am                        Dm/F Dm/F Am
You will always wonder how
              Am                     Dm/F Dm/F Am
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 delivering the proof
           Am         Dm/F Dm/F Am
In the policy of truth
Am Dm/F - Dm/F Am

[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
Am - Am11 - Am x4

[Verse 3]
           Am                        Dm/F Dm/F Am
Now you’re standing there tongue tied
             Am                    Dm/F Dm/F Am
You’d better learn your lesson well
Am                        Dm/F Dm/F Am
Hide what you have to hide
    Am                        Dm/F Dm/F Am
And tell what you have to tell
       F                           
You’ll see your problems multiplied
   Dm                    
If you continually decide
    G            E7 
To faithfully pursue
        Am         
The policy 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
[Instrumental break] x16
Am Dm/F - Dm/F Am
[Outro] (repeat to fade)
Am             F                  Am         
Never again is what you swore the time before
Am             F                  Am         
Never again is what you swore the time before
