[Intro]
A#m  C#  F#  C#


[Verse 1]
     A#m     C# F#         D#sus2
Some-times, I feel, I've got to;
A#m C#    F#        D#sus2
   Run a-way, I've got to;
A#m C#    F#
   Get A-way,
         D#sus2       A#m       C#     F#       D#sus2
From the pain you drive in-to the heart of me.

    A#m   C# F#    D#sus2
The love we share, seems to,
A#m  C#    F#
    Go no-where.
C#        A#m   C# F#   D#sus2
 And I've lost my light,
      A#m                     C#
For I toss and turn; I can't sleep at night.


[Chorus]
A#                  C#
 Once I ran to you, now I run from you,
F#
 This tainted love you've given,
  D#m
I give you all a boy could give you.
D#sus2
 Take my tears and that's not nearly...

A#m   C#       F#    D#sus2
 All, Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
A#m  C#      F#   D#sus2
    Tainted love.


[Verse 2]
A#m   C# F#         D#sus2
 Now I know, I've got to;
A#m C#    F#        D#sus2
   Run a-way, I've got to;
A#m C#    F#
   Get A-way.
    D#sus2     A#m              C#
You don't really want any more from me.

   A#m   C#     F#
To make things right,
    D#sus2         A#m     C#       F#
You need some-one to hold you tight.
D#sus2        A#m         C#    F#
 And you think love is to pray,
D#sus2        A#m             C#
 But I'm sorry, I don't pray that way.


[Chorus]
A#                  C#
 Once I ran to you, now I run from you,
F#
 This tainted love you've given,
  D#m
I give you all a boy could give you.
D#sus2
 Take my tears and that's not nearly...

A#m   C#       F#    D#sus2
 All, Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
A#m  C#      F#   D#sus2
    Tainted love.


[Verse 3]
      A#m    C#  F#
Don't touch me, please,
  D#sus2       A#m        C#      F#
I can not stand the way you tease.
  A#m                   C#      F#
I love you, though you hurt me so,
D#sus2        A#m               C#
 Now I'm going to pack my things and go.


[Coda]
A#m  C#       F#    D#sus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
A#m  C#       F#    D#sus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.
A#m  C#       F#    D#sus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
A#m  C#       F#    D#sus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.

A#m  C#              F#      D#sus2
    Touch me, baby, tainted love,
A#m  C#              F#      D#sus2
    Touch me, baby, tainted love.
 
A#m  C#       F#    D#sus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
A#m  C#       F#    D#sus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.
