Biography:
Tom McRae is a singer-songwriter from the United Kingdom. He grew up in Suffolk, the son of an Anglican vicar. McRae sang in the choir. His mother played guitar and as a teen, he'd borrow it. He began writing songs at 15. At 18 he moved to London to study politics at London Guildhall University, soon forming bands and writing songs. A chance meeting with sound engineer Roger Bechirian led him to a working relationship that shaped McRae's soft-spoken sound and later landed him a deal with DB records.

welcome to the second reel
G#
glad that you could make it.
C#m
we thought your fate was sealed,
G#
It's not what we expected.

but you punch above your weight,
G#
and you're stronger than you look.

they changed it from the book
[Chorus]
A B
i'm the boy with the bubblegun,
C#m
I'm taking aim.
A B
I cannot hit to hurt,

A B
if words could kill ...
C#m
i'd spell out your name
[Verse]
C#m
it's time to kill the king,
G#
it's written in the scripture.
C#m
see what tomorrow brings,
G#
got to get a bigger picture.
C#m
so forgive me, forgive me ,
G# C#m
for i am born to be what i must be
G#
and i must be
[Chorus]
A B
the boy with the bubblegun,

the boy with the bubblegun,
A B
i'm the boy with the bubblegun,
C#m
with work to do
A B
if songs could kill ...
C#m
this one's for you.
