Biography:
Alexander George "Alex" Clare (born 14 September 1985) is a British singer and songwriter from south-west London now living in north-west London, UK. The Too Close Songfacts says that he took up the trumpet and drums as a youngster, but as he grew older he graduated to guitar-based songwriting, playing open-mike nights with original material. Clare dated Amy Winehouse for a year during these early days, after meeting her during a performance at The Hawley Arms in Camden, North London.

Intro: Gb Ebm Bb
Verse:
Gb Ebm
Take what you need, and leave the rest,
Bb
No I don't mind, no I don't mind,
I'll get this off my chest,
Gb Ebm Bb
There's nowhere else I'd rather be.
Gb Ebm
Come flying in, and then again,
Bb
I'm not here long enough to pretend that I seem so well,
Gb Ebm Bb
There's nowhere else you'd rather be.
Chorus -x2-:
Gb Ebm
Like a hummingbird in flight you are,
Bb
Hovering, hovering 'round me,
Gb Ebm Bb
And I move near, you fly away.
Gb Ebm Bb
Don't fly away -x3-
Verse:
Gb Ebm
What can I say, you have to wait,
Bb
You find it hard to say and to articulate,
Gb Ebm Bb
I know there's nowhere else you'd rather be.
Gb Ebm
It seems so clear, I know we're through,
Bb
Yet all I wanna do is making love to you,
Gb Ebm Bb
I know there's nowhere else you'd rather be.
Chorus -x2-:
Gb Ebm
Like a hummingbird in flight you are,
Bb
Hovering, hovering 'round me,
Gb Ebm Bb
And I move near, you fly away.
Gb Ebm Bb
Don't fly away -x5-
Bridge:
Gb Bb
Buzzing around my head, things you have done,
Gb
The words you have said.
Bb B
Remember me, after you've left,
Bb
I'll try but I can't forget.
Chorus -x2-:
Gb Ebm
Like a hummingbird in flight you are,
Bb
Hovering, hovering 'round me,
Gb Ebm Bb
And I move near, you fly away.
