[Intro]
Cm  D#  G#  D#


[Verse 1]
     Cm     D# G#         Fsus2
Some-times, I feel, I've got to;
Cm D#    G#        Fsus2
   Run a-way, I've got to;
Cm D#    G#
   Get A-way,
         Fsus2       Cm       D#     G#       Fsus2
From the pain you drive in-to the heart of me.

    Cm   D# G#    Fsus2
The love we share, seems to,
Cm  D#    G#
    Go no-where.
D#        Cm   D# G#   Fsus2
 And I've lost my light,
      Cm                     D#
For I toss and turn; I can't sleep at night.


[Chorus]
C                  D#
 Once I ran to you, now I run from you,
G#
 This tainted love you've given,
  Fm
I give you all a boy could give you.
Fsus2
 Take my tears and that's not nearly...

Cm   D#       G#    Fsus2
 All, Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Cm  D#      G#   Fsus2
    Tainted love.


[Verse 2]
Cm   D# G#         Fsus2
 Now I know, I've got to;
Cm D#    G#        Fsus2
   Run a-way, I've got to;
Cm D#    G#
   Get A-way.
    Fsus2     Cm              D#
You don't really want any more from me.

   Cm   D#     G#
To make things right,
    Fsus2         Cm     D#       G#
You need some-one to hold you tight.
Fsus2        Cm         D#    G#
 And you think love is to pray,
Fsus2        Cm             D#
 But I'm sorry, I don't pray that way.


[Chorus]
C                  D#
 Once I ran to you, now I run from you,
G#
 This tainted love you've given,
  Fm
I give you all a boy could give you.
Fsus2
 Take my tears and that's not nearly...

Cm   D#       G#    Fsus2
 All, Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Cm  D#      G#   Fsus2
    Tainted love.


[Verse 3]
      Cm    D#  G#
Don't touch me, please,
  Fsus2       Cm        D#      G#
I can not stand the way you tease.
  Cm                   D#      G#
I love you, though you hurt me so,
Fsus2        Cm               D#
 Now I'm going to pack my things and go.


[Coda]
Cm  D#       G#    Fsus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Cm  D#       G#    Fsus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.
Cm  D#       G#    Fsus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Cm  D#       G#    Fsus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.

Cm  D#              G#      Fsus2
    Touch me, baby, tainted love,
Cm  D#              G#      Fsus2
    Touch me, baby, tainted love.
 
Cm  D#       G#    Fsus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Cm  D#       G#    Fsus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.
