Verse
 
Dm 
I wasn't jealous before we met 
                                     C 
Now every woman I see is a potential threat 
     Dm 
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice 
                                            C 
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice 
             Dm 
But now it isn't true 
          A7 
Now everything is new 
     Dm                   Gm 
And all I've learned has overturned 
  Dm        G7 
I beg of you... 
 
Chorus
 
Dm    A(7)  Dm            Bb    A 
Don't go wasting your emotion 
Dm   Gm       C7     F 
Lay all your love on me 
 
      (..Now that you get the idea, keep repeating the sequence..) 
 
Verse
 
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
 
Dm    A(7)  Dm            Bb    A 
Don't go wasting your emotion 
Dm   Gm       C7     F 
Lay all your love on me 
 
Don't go sharing your devotion 
 
Lay all your love on me 
 
Verse
 
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
 
Dm    A(7)  Dm            Bb    A 
Don't go wasting your emotion 
Dm   Gm       C7     F 
Lay all your love on me 
 
Don't go sharing your devotion 
 
Lay all your love on me
