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      Bm7     A7
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
 D   -  A     D   -  A        Bm7 -  A      Bm7     A7
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me


[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      Bm7     A7
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
 D   -  A     D   -  A        Bm7 -  A      Bm7     A7
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me


[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      Bm7     A7
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
 D   -  A     D   -  A        Bm7 -  A      Bm7     A7
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me

 D   -  A     D   -  A        Bm7 -  A      Bm7     A7
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me    (repeat/fade)
