Nothing Gets Through - Chris Hillman

Lonely like a mine sweeper

Peaceful as a light sleeper

Hungry as a jail keeper after three days on the job

I’m as stable as a forest fawn

As gentle as a good boy gone wrong

All the promise of an early dawn before the rain

You, I can tell you’re not playin'

Nothing gets through

If you see you’re not sayin'

Still I’m stayin'

Constant as a love lost

Tender as an early frost

Simple as a double-cross but twice the price

I’m as reckless as a favorite son

As subtle as a smokin' gun

Nothin' ventured and nothin' won and nothin' lost

And you, I can tell you’re not playin'

Nothing gets through

If you see you’re not sayin'

Still I’m stayin'

Instrumental (Electric Guitar)

Like a soldier who’s going home

Or a rider who’s just been thrown

High, I’m almost grown and almost young

I’ve taken what it takes

I’ve paid for my mistakes

Now please, before it’s too late get me out alive

And you, I can tell you’re not playin'

Nothing gets through

If you see you’re not sayin'

Still I’m stayin'

Oh, and you I can tell you’re not playin'

Nothing gets through

If you see you’re not sayin'

Still I’m stayin'

Instrumental (Piano)

I’ve taken what it takes

I’ve paid for my mistakes

Nothing gets through to you

Nothing gets through to you

Nothing gets through to you

Nothing gets through
