(A11)                  Dmaj7                 F#m7  B+5/7 
Did you say I've got a lot to learn  
                           Em7                           F#m-5/7   
Well, don't think I'm trying not to learn  
 B7                         Em7                A11    A7/13-  
Since this is a perfect spot to learn  
                         D     Bm9     A11 
Teach me tonight  

                           D        Gdim  F#m  
Starting with the A-B-C of it  
          B7+5          Em7          F#m-5/7 
Right down to the X-Y-Z of it  
         B7                   Em7    A11  A7/13-  
Help me solve the mystery of it  
                       D    G9   Dmaj7 
Teach me tonight  

Bridge  
        Fdim    Em      A7/13-        F#m7         D#dim  
The sky's a blackboard     high above you  
        Em9      A7  A7/13-         D       
And if a shooting star  goes  by  
 D D/A D    G#m-5/7    C#-9/7   F#m       
I'll use that star        to write 'I   Love You'  
    Bm7                    E7           A11        
A thousand times across the sky  
                         Dmaj7       Gdim   F#m   
One thing isn't very clear, my love  
           B7               Em7      Bm5-/7   A7  
Should the teacher stand so near, my love  
     B7             Em        Em7   A7  
Graduation's almost here, my love   
Em7  A7    D   Cdim  Em7            A7         D    Gdim D  
Teach me tonight,         come on and teach me tonight
