[Intro]
D#m  F#  B  F#


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

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


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

D#m   F#       B    G#sus2
 All, Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
D#m  F#      B   G#sus2
    Tainted love.


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

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


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

D#m   F#       B    G#sus2
 All, Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
D#m  F#      B   G#sus2
    Tainted love.


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


[Coda]
D#m  F#       B    G#sus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
D#m  F#       B    G#sus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.
D#m  F#       B    G#sus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
D#m  F#       B    G#sus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.

D#m  F#              B      G#sus2
    Touch me, baby, tainted love,
D#m  F#              B      G#sus2
    Touch me, baby, tainted love.
 
D#m  F#       B    G#sus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
D#m  F#       B    G#sus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.
