[Intro]
A#

[Verse 1]
Gm    D#                  A#   F
  The walls are bleeding red
Gm               D#
Blisters for the scars and
      A#          F
 the damage did
Gm       D#                A#    F
  But my pictures hanging here
       Gm               D#
Didn't mean that much until
          A#          F
 it meant everything

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Gm    D#               A#
And I know I'm so far gone
Your heart can't keep
           F
 a vacancy for me
Gm       D#
Oh, only you know how
       A#
long you've got to go

[Chorus]
D#
There ain't no warning
 the first time
Ain't no one to tell you
            A#
 "run, boy, run
                 A#/A
Like I should've done"
         D#
Oh, when I can't fight
 the bloodline
                         A#
Living in the seams back home
    A#/A
Oh, no

[Verse 2]
       A#
How am I gonna know
       A#
If I'm never alone?
       D#
When I live in the numb
        D#
And all feeling is gone?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
           F
I throw it all out the window
Gm
All out the window
          D#             F
Like it's all I'll ever be

[Outro]
Gm    D#                 A#
  The halls are closing in
     Gm            D#
If I knew from the start
         A#
Would it change a thing?

How to play Bloodline: key, chords and progression

Bloodline by Luke Hemmings is built around B♭ major (two flats: B♭, E♭), with 5 chords in all: A#, Gm, D#, F and A#/A.

The progression the song keeps returning to is F – Gm – D# – A# (V – vi – IV – I in B♭ major), a rotation of the “four-chord” pop progression (I–V–vi–IV). In solfa, that is soh – lah – fah – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes G, Em, C, D (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
