Bloodless by Tom Mcrae

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.
