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.

VERSE:
Em C B7
There's always a party on funeral row
Em C B7
Where the cross flashes red to the street
Em C B7
And gasoline dreams of girls in blue jeans
Em C B7 Fill
He's grazing the surface of sleep
Em C B7
The vultures on main street are eyeing you up
Em C B7
Calculating the weight of your bones
Em C D Em
And midnight graffiti appears on your door
Em C B7
So we all can sleep safe in our homes
G C G C
And the storms in the distance hold no rain
G C G C
And I feel my resistance giving way
Em C B7 Fill
Shelter me from this sky
Em C B7
Dance with me one last time

Sao Paulo Rain x2
Em C B7
Do not disturb this blood red earth
Em C B7
There's giants sleeping beneath
Em C B7
And carnival queens on their deathbed scenes
Em C B7
All go through the motions of grief
Em C B7
Take another hit let the bottle slip through your fingers
Em C B7
And break like a promise made, the day I remember
Em C B7
My heart I will keep, my voice I surrender
Em C B7
And I will not speak to lie
G C x2

We were so alive
G C
We were so alive
Em C B7
Shelter me from this sky
Em C B7
Dance with me one last time
