Tom : Bm
Bm E5 D5
You have something to hide
Bm E5 D5
Should have hidden it shouldn't you
Bm E5 D5
Now you're not satisfied
Bm E5 D5
With what you're being put through
Em
It's just time to pay the price
F#m
For not listening to advice
A A#°
And deciding in your youth
Bm G7 F#
On the policy of truth
Bm E5 D5
Things could be so different now
Bm E5 D5
It used to be so civilised
Bm E5 D5
You will always wonder how
Bm E5 D5
It could have been if you´d only lied
Em
It´s too late to change events
F#m
It´s time to face the consequence
A A#
For delivering the proof
Bm G7 F#
In the policy of truth
Bm D5 F# Bm Bm D5 F# Bm
Never again is what you swore the time before
Bm D5 F# Bm Bm D5 F# Bm
Never again is what you swore the time before
Bm E5 D5
Now you´re standing there tongue tied
Bm E5 D5
You´d better learn your lesson well
Bm E5 D5
Hide what you have to hide
Bm E5 D5
And tell what you have to tell
Em
You´ll see your problems multiplied
F#m
If you continually decide
A A#°
To faithfully pursue
Bm G7 F#
The policy of truth
Never again is what you swore the time before
