Nothing Gets Past That

modern indie rock pop with noir jazz tinged production, tape saturation, acoustic drum kit, smoky female contralto with breathy phrasing, tight driving rhythm, rising pre-chorus and forceful chorus

[Intro]
(Bm9) (Gmaj7) (Em9) (F#7#9)

[Verse 1]
(Bm9) You built a fortress of (Gmaj7) clever excuse
(Em9) Tied up the logic in a (F#7#9) beautiful noose
(Bm9) I see the tripwire strung on the (Gmaj7) floor
(C#m7b5) I'm not walking into that (F#7#9) room anymore
(Bm9) You played the piano with (Gmaj7) sleight of hand
(Em9) A beautiful chord that I (F#7#9) can't understand
(Bm9) But the dissonance rings in the (Gmaj7) cold morning air
(C#m7b5) And you're acting like nothing is (F#7#9) there

[Pre-Chorus]
(Gmaj7) The spotlight is hitting the (F#m7) cracks in the glass
(Fmaj7) The alibis crumble, the (Em7) shadows amass
(Asus4) I'm putting the foot on the (A) gas

[Chorus]
(Dmaj7) Nothing gets past (C#7) that
(F#m7) The absolute limit, the (B9) drop of the hat
(Gmaj7) You can dress it up nicely in (F#m7) noir and in jazz
(Em9) But I see the razzle, I (A13) see the dazz
(Dmaj7) Nothing gets past (C#7) that
(F#m7) A solid brick wall where the (B9) reasoning sat
(Gmaj7) I'm driving away from the (F#m7) scene of the crime
(Em9) Nothing gets past that, not (A13) this time

[Verse 2]
(Bm9) You offered a smile that was (Gmaj7) terribly neat
(Em9) A polished performance of (F#7#9) subtle retreat
(Bm9) But the bassline is walking right (Gmaj7) out of the groove
(C#m7b5) And it's thoroughly entirely my (F#7#9) move

[Pre-Chorus]
(Gmaj7) The spotlight is hitting the (F#m7) cracks in the glass
(Fmaj7) The alibis crumble, the (Em7) shadows amass
(Asus4) I'm putting the foot on the (A) gas

[Outro]
(Gmaj7) No more illusions, (Gm6) no more debate
(F#m7) I'm pulling the lever, (B9) I'm shutting the gate
(Em9) Nothing gets past (F#7#9) that
(Bm9) Nothing.
