[INTRO:] C  Dm7  Em

[VERSE 1:] 
N.C.        G
Only mine until
                Em       Am      F
The time comes 'round to pay the bill
     Am      F
Then I'm afraid
              E7
What can't be paid
          G
Must be returned
    F           G
You never, ever learn
Em        Dm7
Nothing's yours
   F    C      Dm  C
On easy terms
 

[VERSE 2:] 
            G
Only for a time
           Em       Am       F
I must not learn to call you mine
       Am    
Familiarize
           E7
That face, those eyes
            G
Make future plans
     F            G
That cannot be confirmed
   Em       Dm7
On borrowed time
   F    C      Dm  C
On easy terms
 
 
CHORUS:
       Em     Am          G  C
Living on the never-never
         Em     Am       G
Constant as the changing weather
      F
Never sure
             Fm7
Who's at the door
       C          Em      Am
Or the price I'll have to pay
 
 
[VERSE 3:] 
N.C.            G
Should we meet again
           Em        Am   F
I will not recognise your name
           Am 
You can be sure
              E7
What's gone before
           G
Will be concealed
     F                  G
Your friends will never learn
     Em      Dm7
That once we were
   F    C      Dm  C
On easy terms
 
 
CHORUS:
       Em     Am          G  C
Living on the never-never
         Em     Am       G
Constant as the changing weather
      F
Never sure
             Fm
Who's at the door
       C          Em      Am
Or the price I'll have to pay


[INTERLUDE:]       (**spoken word**)

                   G
Mrs Lyons: They're born, you didn't notify me.
                   Em                                       F
Mrs Johnstone: Well.. I.. just... Couldn't I keep them for a few more days?
                                          Am
Please - please? They're a pair, they go together.
                 
Mrs Lyons: My husband is due back tomorrow, Mrs Johnstone.
  E7                                       G         F
I must have my baby. We made an agreement, a bargain. 
                 G
You swore on the bible.
                                               Dm
Mrs Johnstone: You'd better - you'd better see which one you want.

Mrs Lyons: I'll take...
                                 F                        C          Dm  C
Mrs Johnstone: No. Don't tell me which one. Just take him. Take him.


CHORUS:
       Em     Am          G  C
Living on the never-never
         Em     Am       G
Constant as the changing weather
      F
Never sure
             Fm
Who's at the door
       C          Em      Am
Or the price I'll have to pay
                G
Should we meet again
