So this is just the way I play it, I hope you like it.
It may vary from the original version, you probably disagree with me and one might 
simplify it as well (e.g. ignore the bracketed part or replace C(addG) by Gm).
Listen the the original tune for the strumming. I recommend you to play the barred 
chords for easier chord changes. Hit the 6th string on the 8th tab at the asterisk *.

Dm    A7  Dm   A7  Dm Gm 
Bb  A
Don't go wasting your emotion
F7   Gm  Am  Gm  C(addG) F (7 fr.)
Lay all your love on    me


Dm
I wasn't jealous before we met
                 ( *     C Dm)C
Now every woman I see is a potential threat
     Dm
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
                            ( *      C  Dm)C
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice


    Dm
But now it isn't true
    A
Now everything is new
    F7                   A7
And all I've learned has overturned
  Dm      G
I beg of you...


Chorus:

Dm    A7  Dm   A7  Dm Gm 
Bb  A
Don't go wasting your emotion
F7   Gm  Am  Gm  C(addG) F (7 fr.)
Lay all your love on    me


It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little smalltalk, a smile and baby I was stuck
I still don't know what you've done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily

I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you near
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride
I beg you dear...
Chorus:
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
I've had a few little love affairs
They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce
I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible

'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I've learned has overturned
What can I do...
Chorus:
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
(1x instrumental Chorus)
