[Intro]
Eb Gm
[Verse]
Eb Gm
Young teacher, the subject, of school girl fantasy
Eb Gm
She wants him, so badly, knows what she wants to be
Eb Gm
Inside her, there's longing, this girl's an open page
Eb Gm
Book marking, she's so close now, this girl is half his age
[Chorus]
D - A D - A Bm7 - A Am7 A7sus2
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
D - A D - A Bm7 - A Am7 A7sus2
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to be
[Verse]
Eb Gm
Her friends are, so jealous, you know how bad girls get
Eb Gm
Sometimes it's, not so easy, to be the teacher's pet
Eb Gm
Temptation, frustration, so bad it makes him cry
Eb Gm
Wet bus stop, she's waiting, his car is warm and dry
[Chorus]
D - A D - A Bm7 - A Am7 A7sus2
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
D - A D - A Bm7 - A Am7 A7sus2
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to be
[Verse]
Eb Gm
Loose talk in, the class room, to hurt they try and try
Eb Gm
Strong words, in the staff room, the accusations fly
Eb Gm
It's no use, he sees her, he starts to shake and cough
Eb Gm
Just like the old man, in that book by Nabakov
[Chorus]
D - A D - A Bm7 - A Am7 A7sus2
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
D - A D - A Bm7 - A Am7 A7sus2
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to be
[Solo]
Eb Gm x4
[Outro]
D - A D - A Bm7 - A Am7 A7sus2
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to be (repeat/fade)
