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.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I figured out these chords on piano and haven't had a chance yet to try them out on guitar,
so tell me if they don't work. Feel free to email me at [email protected]
The chords repeat themselves, an interesting variation of the 4 chord song, though I'll write them
out verse by verse to help those who don't know the song too well. Enjoy! Feel free to email me all
feedback, positive and otherwise! I'd really like to hear your comments! Also, I'm not 100% sure
about the order of the chords in the last part of the song, as it is a bit distorted by the dubstep,
so feel free to tell me if they're wrong!
(Chords: F, Em, C, D) Repeat all chords 6 times, slightly softer each time.
F Em
You stole my heart
C D
The first time that I saw your face
F
It was the start
Em
Of a never ending love

(Interrupt the chord half way through with a repetition of the same chord, as written.
If you don't understand, listen to the song again)
