Bloodless Chords - Tom Mcrae






Cant believe this song hasnt been tabbed before! Its a truly amazing song, one of
which I frequently cover. This is my first tab Ive banged up on here - pretty big
stuff - haha, so dunno if its 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 dont 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 dont 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)
Youre bloodless


(Chorus: strum away)
    G     CG
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, Ive got a feeling
  D (strum few times, then let ring)
You dont know



We think that were the ones 
Were the bright unconquered suns
G     C
Wait a while, well watch the light grow stale
G
And we smell so very clean 
      C
But were 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 
Youre 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, Ive got a feeling
  D 
You dont 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, Ive got a feeling
  D 
You dont 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, Ive got a feeling
  D 
You dont 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, Ive got a feeling
  G (let ring)
You dont know





Hope it helps.
