Intro: E A C D

Verse:
E             A                      C D
My heart just sank the moment I saw you
E          A         C           D
You're the image of a girl that I used to know
E        A                  C       D
Don't be alarmed if it seems hard for me to explain
E         A             C         D
But every detail of your face makes me recall her name

Pre-Chorus:
Bm       A             Db             B 
Treading water, I keep         treading water

Chorus:
            Gbm                         B
Maybe it's another chance to mug myself again
            Gbm
Maybe it's another chance
                          B
I'm sure I'll xxxx things up in the same way
            Gbm                         B
Maybe it's another chance to mug myself again

Interlude: E A C D

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

Pre-Chorus:
Bm       A             Db              B 
Treading water, I keep          treading water

Chorus:
            Gbm                         B
Maybe it's another chance to mug myself again
            Gbm
Maybe it's another chance
                          B
I'm sure I'll xxxx things up in the same way
            Gbm                         B
Maybe it's another chance to mug myself again

Interlude: Dbm Abm Dbm B

Bridge:
Dbm                 Abm
If my concentration seems spread too thin
Dbm                   B
And when you speak my eyes glaze over
Ab 
I'm sorry girl, it's not you, it's her

Chorus:
            Gbm                         B
And you're another chance to mug myself again.
              Gbm
Baby you're another chance
                          B
I'm sure I'll xxxx things up in the same way
            Gbm                 B
Maybe it's another chance
            Gbm                         B
Maybe it's another chance to mug myself again
             Gbm
Baby you're another chance
                          B
I'm sure I'll xxxx things up in the same way
            Gbm                         B
Maybe it's another chance to mug myself again

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.
