Bloodless


Can’t believe this song hasn’t been tabbed before! It’s a truly amazing song, one of which I frequently cover. This is my first tab I’ve banged up on here - pretty big stuff - haha, so dunno if it’s completely accurate, but it sounds fine to sing to and with the recording: Tom Mcrae - Bloodless (1st verse: hit strings once per chord – let ring) G C This train don’t stop, at the stations of the cross G C No reasons left to believe G C You try to stay awake, gave yourself a caffeine headache G C…(let ring) To hide the taste of sleep (2nd verse: strum every chord. Listen to recording for exact rhythm) G C In choosing to forget you cut away the safety net, G C that holds your heart, holds your heart G C And you go in search of youth, touching up your empire roots G C But these days, we don’t know how to march (pre-chorus: strong, single strum for each chord – let ring) Am C Satisfied with a knife in your spine D (strum out) You’re bloodless (Chorus: strum away) G C G So tell me again what am I feeling you know me so well C G C So what am I feeling and how can you tell, I’ve got a feeling D (strum few times, then let ring) You don’t know We think that we’re the ones We’re the bright unconquered suns G C Wait a while, we’ll watch the light grow stale G And we smell so very clean C But we’re the oil in this machine G And this machine C This machine is going wrong Am C So choose your sides when it comes to the fight D You’re bloodless (Chorus) G C G So tell me again what am I feeling you know me so well C G C So what am I feeling and how can you tell, I’ve got a feeling D You don’t know (Bridge) Am C D You choose your side but in the fight I see your blood run white, D Your blood run white Am C D (let ring) And I- ve seen it all before… G …and I see it again G C G So tell me again what am I feeling you know me so well C G C So what am I feeling and how can you tell, I’ve got a feeling D You don’t know G C G So tell me again what am I feeling you know me so well C G C So what am I feeling and how can you tell, I’ve got a feeling D You don’t know G C G So tell me again what am I feeling you know me so well C G C So what am I feeling and how can you tell, I’ve got a feeling G (let ring) You don’t know Hope it helps.
