[Verse 1]
     Bm     D G         Esus2
Some-times, I feel, I've got to;
Bm D    G        Esus2
   Run a-way, I've got to;
Bm D    G
   Get A-way,
         Esus2       Bm       D     G       Esus2
From the pain you drive in-to the heart of me.

    Bm   D G    Esus2
The love we share, seems to,
Bm  D    G
    Go no-where.
D        Bm   D G   Esus2
 And I've lost my light,
      Bm                     D
For I toss and turn; I can't sleep at night.


[Chorus]
B                  D
 Once I ran to you, now I run from you,
G
 This tainted love you've given,
  Em
I give you all a boy could give you.
Esus2
 Take my tears and that's not nearly...

Bm   D       G    Esus2
 All, Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Bm  D      G   Esus2
    Tainted love.


[Verse 2]
Bm   D G         Esus2
 Now I know, I've got to;
Bm D    G        Esus2
   Run a-way, I've got to;
Bm D    G
   Get A-way.
    Esus2     Bm              D
You don't really want any more from me.

   Bm   D     G
To make things right,
    Esus2         Bm     D       G
You need some-one to hold you tight.
Esus2        Bm         D    G
 And you think love is to pray,
Esus2        Bm             D
 But I'm sorry, I don't pray that way.


[Chorus]
B                  D
 Once I ran to you, now I run from you,
G
 This tainted love you've given,
  Em
I give you all a boy could give you.
Esus2
 Take my tears and that's not nearly...

Bm   D       G    Esus2
 All, Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Bm  D      G   Esus2
    Tainted love.


[Verse 3]
      Bm    D  G
Don't touch me, please,
  Esus2       Bm        D      G
I can not stand the way you tease.
  Bm                   D      G
I love you, though you hurt me so,
Esus2        Bm               D
 Now I'm going to pack my things and go.


[Coda]
Bm  D       G    Esus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Bm  D       G    Esus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.
Bm  D       G    Esus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Bm  D       G    Esus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.

Bm  D              G      Esus2
    Touch me, baby, tainted love,
Bm  D              G      Esus2
    Touch me, baby, tainted love.
 
Bm  D       G    Esus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Bm  D       G    Esus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.
