The first three lines of the chorus can be played this way
to sound more like the original:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---6-6-6-6-2-2-2-2-------------1-1-----------------------------|
G|---6-6-5-5-3-3-1-1-3-3-3-3-3-3-1-1-----------------------------|

[Intro]
Db Fm Bbm Fm Gb Bbm Ebm/Gb Ab
 
[Verse 1]
             Db
Baby really hurt me
                Fm
crying in the taxi
                 Bbm
He don't wanna know me
                         Fm                     Gb     Bbm
says you make the big mistake of dancing in my storm
Ebm                  Ab
   Says it was poison
                 Db
So I guess I go home
          Fm                     Bbm
into the arms of the girl that I love
                Fm
the only love I haven't screwed up
Gb                  Bbm
   She's so hard to please
              Ebm      Ab
but she's a forest fire
        Db
I do my best to meet her demands
Fm
play it romance
         Bbm
we slow dance in the living room
    Fm                      Gb
but all that a stranger would see
        Bbm           Ebm               Ab
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek
 
[Chorus]
      Db         Fm            Bbm
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Fm     Gb
You're a liability
          Bbm         Ebm    Ab
You're a little much for me"
               Db               Fm
So they pull back, make other plans
       Bbm
I understand
     Fm     Gb
I'm a liability
        Bbm         Ebm
Get you wild, make you leave
       Ab            Bbm            Ab    Gb
I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone
 
[Verse 2]
          Db         Fm
The truth is, I am a toy
              Bbm
that people enjoy
                Fm                Gb
till all of the tricks don't work anymore
Bbm              Ebm       Ab
And then they are bored of me
 
                     Db
I know that it's exciting
                     Fm
running through the night but
              Bbm                Fm
every perfect summer's eating me alive
             Gb    Bbm
until you're gone
Ebm          Ab
Better on my own
 
[Chorus]
      Db         Fm            Bbm
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Fm     Gb
You're a liability
          Bbm         Ebm    Ab
You're a little much for me"
               Db               Fm
So they pull back, make other plans
       Bbm
I understand
     Fm     Gb
I'm a liability
        Bbm         Ebm
Get you wild, make you leave
       Ab            Bbm            Ab     Gb
I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone
 
[Outro]
             Bbm           Ab           Gb
They're gonna watch me disappear into the sun
                 Bbm        Ab           Gb
You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun
