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.

this is the chords for the song treading water by alex clare. i'm not sure about the a major in the pre-chorus, but the rest must be right. if the lyrics aren't correct, i just copied them, but i thinks they're less important than the chords. i did this tab by listening, so there might not be everything correct, but anyways, have fun.

EACD Can you forgive the things I do that I can't amend EACD Nor the way I yearn for her, I hope you can pretend EACD Girl, you're a fire and you'll find that I want to get burned EACD No matter what you can teach me I'm sure I'll never learn
