[Verse 1]
[Eb]Young teacher,
the sub[Gm]ject of schoolgirl fantasy
[Eb]She wants him so badly,
[Gm]knows what she wants to be
[Eb]Inside her there's longing,
[Gm]this girl's an open page
[Eb]Bookmarking, she's so close now
[Gm]This girl is half his age

[Chorus 1]
[D]Don't sta[A]nd, don[D]'t stand [A]so
[Bm]Don't stand so [Am]close to me
[D]Don't [A]stand, [D]don't sta[A]nd so
[Bm]Don't stand so [Am]close to me
[Am]

[Verse 2]
[Eb]Her friends are so jealous
[Gm]You know how bad girls get
[Eb]Sometimes it's not so easy
[Gm]to be the teacher's pet
[Eb]Temptation, frustration
[Gm]so bad it makes him cry
[Eb]Wet bus stop, she's waiting
[Gm]his car is warm and dry

[Chorus 2]
[D]Don't sta[A]nd, don[D]'t stand [A]so
[Bm]Don't stand so [Am]close to me
[D]Don't [A]stand, [D]don't sta[A]nd so
[Bm]Don't stand so [Am]close to me
[Am]

[Verse 3]
[Eb]Loose talk in the classroom
[Gm]to hurt they try and try
[Eb]Strong words in the staffroom
[Gm]the accusations fly
[Eb]It's no use, he sees her
[Gm]he starts to shake and cough
[Eb]Just like the old man in
[Gm]that book by Nabokov

[Chorus 3]
[D]Don't sta[A]nd, don[D]'t stand [A]so
[Bm]Don't stand so [Am]close to me
[D]Don't [A]stand, [D]don't sta[A]nd so
[Bm]Don't stand so [Am]close to me
[Am][Am][Am]
