The
Police were an English rock band strongly influenced by reggae, jazz and punk
rock. They were originally formed in 1977 in London by Stewart Copeland – drums,
Gordon Sumner, better known as Sting – bass guitar and lead vocals, Andy
Summers - guitar, vocals and
Henry Padovani – guitar. The Police became globally popular in the late 1970s
and are generally regarded as one of the first New Wave groups to achieve
mainstream success. The Police have sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, and
became the world's highest-earning musicians in 2008, thanks to their reunion
tour. The Police have won a number of music awards throughout their career,
including six Grammy Awards, two Brit Awards, winning Best British Group once,
an MTV Video Music Award, and in 2003 were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame. The group were disbanded in 1984 but have occasionally regrouped. Sting began a solo career
in 1985.

Young teacher, the subject
Am G Am G
Of schoolgirl fantasy
F G F G F
She wants him so badly
Am G Am G
Knows what she wants to be
F G F G F
Inside her there's longing
Am G Am G
This girl's an open page
F G F G F
Book marking - she's so close now

Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it's not so easy
To be the teacher's pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she's waiting
His car is warm and dry
E B E B…
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
F G F G…
Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom
The accusations fly
It's no use, he sees her
He starts to shake and cough
Just like the old man in
That book by Nabokov
E B E B…
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me
Don't stand, don't stand so, don't stand so close to me.

C G Am F
Well, someone told me yesterday
C G Am F
That when you throw your love away
C G Am F
You act as if you just don´t care,
C G Am F
You look as if you´re going somewhere.
C G Am F…
But I just can´t convince myself,
I couldn´t live with no one else
And I can only play that part
And sit and nurse my broken heart. So lonely!
C G Am F C G Am F C
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely! So lonely, so lonely, so lonely!
C G Am F C G Am F C
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely! So lonely, so lonely, so lonely!
C G Am F…
Now no one´s knocked upon my door
For a thousand years or maybe more.
All made up and nowhere to go,
Welcome to this one man show.
C G Am F…
Just take a seat, they´re always free,
No surprise, no mystery.
In this theatre that I call my soul
I always play the starring role. So lonely!
C G Am F…
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely! So lonely, so lonely, so lonely!
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely! So lonely, so lonely, so lonely!
D A Bm G D A Bm G D
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely! So lonely, so lonely, so lonely!
D A Bm G D A Bm G D
So lonely, so lonely, so lonely! So lonely, so lonely, so lonely!...
