EbGm
[Verse]
EbGm
Young teacher, the subject, of school girl fantasy
EbGm
She wants him, so badly, knows what she wants to be
EbGm
Inside her, there's longing, this girl's an open page
EbGm
Book marking, she's so close now, this girl is half his age
[Chorus]
D - AD - ABm7 - ABm7A7
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
D - AD - ABm7 - ABm7A7
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
[Verse]
EbGm
Her friends are, so jealous, you know how bad girls get
EbGm
Sometimes it's not so easy, to be the teacher's pet
EbGm
Temptation, frustration, so bad it makes him cry
EbGm
Wet bus stop, she's waiting, his car is warm and dry
[Chorus]
D - AD - ABm7 - ABm7A7
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
D - AD - ABm7 - ABm7A7
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
[Verse]
EbGm
Loose talk in, the class room, to hurt they try and try
EbGm
Strong words in the staff room, the accusations fly
EbGm
It's no use, he sees her, he starts to shake and cough
EbGm
Just like the old man in that book by Nabakov
[Chorus]
D - AD - ABm7 - ABm7A7
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
D - AD - ABm7 - ABm7A7
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
[Solo]
Eb Gm x4
[Outro]
D - AD - ABm7 - ABm7A7
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me (repeat/fade)
(Please don't stand so clo - se to me)
