Intro:

Dm  F  F  F (x2)

Verse 1:

     Dm     F F          F
Some-times, I feel, I've got to;
Dm F     F         F
   Run a-way, I've got to;
Dm F     F
   Get D-way,
         F        Dm       F      F        F

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

Chorus 1:

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

Verse 2:

Dm   F F          F
 Now I know, I've got to;
Dm F     F         F
   Run a-way, I've got to;
Dm F     F
   Get D-way.
    F     Dm              F
You don't really want any more from me.

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

Chorus 2:

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

Verse 3:

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

Coda:

Dm  F        F     F
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Dm  F        F     F
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.
Dm  F        F     F
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Dm  F        F     F
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.

Dm  F               F       F
    Touch me, baby, tainted love,
Dm  F               F       F
    Touch me, baby, tainted love.

Dm  F        F     F
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Dm  F        F     F
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.
