This is the chords of There Must Be More Than Blood by Car Seat Headrest on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Intro]
Amaj7sus2
I saw I saw I saw I saw I saw
A6sus9
I saw you

[Verse 1]
Asus2
On the magazine cover
With your blue-white eyes
Read it from cover to cover
Looking for ya
But these are not my people here
I think you know that
Nervous like a wild dog
Waiting for the attack

[Pre-Chorus]
Asus2 Amaj7sus2 Bm
I was living in the delta
C#m
Wasting most of my time
Asus2 Amaj7sus2 Bm
You know if I could close the blinds right
C#m
I could sleep all through the night
Asus2 Amaj7sus2 Bm
But I’ve seen the tides are rising
C#m
Where once there was a shore
Asus2 Amaj7sus2 Bm
I can still remember houses
C#m
Stripped to the floor

[Bridge]
Amaj7sus2
When you’re down for a while trying to get dried out
You feel the time pass by but you don’t look around
A6sus9
When you’re out for a while trying to get dried out
You feel the time pass by but you don’t look around
Fmaj7
You were playing your music but you got drowned out
D5
You go back to the old house but you’ve been locked out
A Amaj7sus2
And it wasn’t for love that you went back home
A6sus
It was the guilt in your throat like you swallowed a bone
A Amaj7sus2
They had all of your life to get it right
A6sus
They had all of that time just to change their minds
A Amaj7sus2
And you’re grateful for the bus, it’s a place to sit down
A6sus
Like a spider in the winter trying not to be found
A Amaj7sus2
No use selling your soul when you’re getting passed on
A6sus
No use trying to heal when you’re getting stepped on
Asus2
How could they treat you like a forgotten card?
Dear dad, I’m sorry
Thank you very much
What difference does it make when they throw you away?
Is anybody ever gonna hear what you had to say?

[Verse 2]
Asus2 Amaj7sus2 Bm
I was flying on a redeye
C#m
My hand dropped to the aisle
Asus2 Amaj7sus2 Bm
I could see myself clearly
C#m
for the first time in a while
Asus2 Amaj7sus2 Bm
There was nothing but lines nothing but outlines
C#m
My gut sank like a stone
Asus2 Amaj7sus2 Bm
But I heard another voice say,
C#m
“We all walk alone.”

[Chorus]
A Amaj7sus2 B6sus Dmaj7
There must be more than blood that holds us together
A Amaj7sus2 B6sus Dmaj7
There must be more than wind that takes us away
A Amaj7sus2 B6sus Dmaj7
There must be more than tears when they pull back the curtain
A E5
There must be more than fear
A Amaj7sus2 B6sus Dmaj7
Oh, there must be more than blood that holds us together
A Amaj7sus2 B6sus Dmaj7
There must be more than wind that takes us away
A Amaj7sus2 B6sus Dmaj7
There must be more than tears when they pull back the curtain
A E5
There must be more than tears…
A Amaj7sus2 B6sus Dmaj7
A Amaj7sus2 B6sus Dmaj7
There must be more, there must be more
A Amaj7sus2
There must be more, there must be more,
B6sus Dmaj7
there must be more, there must be more,
A E5
There must be more

How to play There Must Be More Than Blood: key, chords and progression

There Must Be More Than Blood by Car Seat Headrest is built around A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯), with 8 chords in all: Amaj7sus2, Asus2, Bm, C#m, Fmaj7, D5, A and E5.

Listen for Asus2 – Amaj7sus2 – Bm – C#m (Isus2 – Imaj7 – ii – iii in A major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – doh – reh – mi. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: on guitar, Bm and C#m need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
