Chorus 1

[F#7#5] [Bm7]

Did you say I've got a lot to learn?

[E7] [C#m7]

Well, don't think I'm trying not to learn

[F#7#5] [Bm7]

Since this is the perfect spot to learn

[E7] [Amaj7sus2] [Amaj7] [F#7#5] [F#7#5]

Teach me tonight

Chorus 2

[F#7#5] [Bm7]

Starting with the A, B, C of it

[E7] [C#m7]

Right down to the X, Y, Z of it

[F#7#5] [Bm7]

Help me solve the mystery of it

[E7] [Amaj7]

Teach me tonight

Verse

[E7sus4] [F#7#5] [Bm7]

Oh the sky's a blackboard

[E7] [Amaj7] [A#dim7]

High above you

[Bm7] [Cdim7] [C#m7]

And if a shooting star goes by

[D#m7b5] [G#7#5] [C#m7]

I'll use that star to write, "I love you"

[F#m11] [B7] [E7] [F#7#5] [F#7#5]

A thousand times across the sky

Chorus 3

[F#7#5] [Bm7]

One thing isn't very clear, my love

[E7] [C#m7]

Should the teacher stand so near my love

[F#7#5] [Bm7]

Graduation's almost here my love

[E7] [Amaj7]

Teach me tonight

Solo

[Bm7] [E7] [C#m7] [F#7#5]

[Bm7] [E7] [Amaj7]

Verse

[E7sus4] [F#7#5] [Bm7]

Oh the sky's a blackboard

[E7] [Amaj7] [A#dim7]

High above you

[Bm7] [Cdim7] [C#m7]

And if a shooting star goes by

[D#m7b5] [G#7#5] [C#m7]

I'll use that star to write, "I love you"

[F#m11] [B7] [D6sus2] [E] [F#7#5]

A thousand times across the sky

[Riff on the word "sky"]

[D6sus2] [E]

Chorus 4

[E7sus4] [F#7#5] [Bm7]

Mmm, one thing isn't very clear, my love

[E7] [C#m7]

Graduation's almost here my love

[E7] [Amaj7sus2] [Amaj7]

Teach me tonight
