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.

Key Bb(Capo 1)
Intro:
| C Dm | Am | x2 The same pattern persists through the verses
Verse:
C Dm Am
Take what you need and leave the rest
No I don't mind, No I don't mind
C Dm Am
I'll get this off my chest there's nowhere else I'd rather be
C Dm Am
Come flying in, and then again
I'm not alone enough to pretend that
C Dm Am
I've seen the world there's nowhere else you'd rather be
Chorus:
Dm
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Am Dm
Hovering, hovering round me
Am
That I would need you to fly away
Dm
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Am Dm
Hovering, hovering near me
Am
As I would need you to fly away
Dm Am
Don't fly away
Dm Am
Don't fly away
Dm Am
Don't fly away
Verse:
C Dm Am
What can I say? You have to wait
I find it hard to say it to articulate
C Dm Am
I know that there's nowhere else you'd rather be
C Dm Am
It seems so clear I know it true
That all I wanna do is make love to you
C Dm Am
I know that there's no where else you'd rather be

Dm
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Am Dm
Hovering, hovering near me

Don't fly away
Bridge: Softly
C Dm Am
Birds are in around my head, things you have done
C Dm Am
The words you have said, my memory after you left
Am (stay on Am until chorus)
I try but I can't forget
Chorus:
Dm
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Am Dm
Hovering, hovering around me
Am
I don't need you to fly away
Dm
Like a hummingbird in flight you are
Am Dm
Hovering, hovering around me
