Intro:

Em  G  C  G (x2)

Verse 1:

     Em     G C          G
Some-times, I feel, I've got to;
Em G     C         G
   Run a-way, I've got to;
Em G     C
   Get A-way,
         G        Em       G      C        G

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

Chorus 1:

E                  G
 Once I ran to you, now I run from you,
C
 This tainted love you've given,
  Am
I give you all a boy could give you.
A
 Take my tears and that's not nearly...
Em   G        C     G
 All, Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Em  G       C    G
    Tainted love.

Verse 2:

Em   G C          G
 Now I know, I've got to;
Em G     C         G
   Run a-way, I've got to;
Em G     C
   Get A-way.
    G     Em              G
You don't really want any more from me.

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

Chorus 2:

E                  G
 Once I ran to you, now I run from you,
C
 This tainted love you've given,
  Am
I give you all a boy could give you.
A
 Take my tears and that's not nearly...
Em   G        C     G
 All, Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Em  G       C    G
    Tainted love.

Verse 3:

      Em    G   C
Don't touch me, please,
  G       Em        G       C
I can not stand the way you tease.
  Em                   G       C
I love you, though you hurt me so,
G        Em               G
 Now I'm going to pack my things and go.

Coda:

Em  G        C     G
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.
Em  G        C     G
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Em  G        C     G
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.

Em  G               C       G
    Touch me, baby, tainted love,
Em  G               C       G
    Touch me, baby, tainted love.

Em  G        C     G
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Em  G        C     G
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.
