     Em    G C
Some-times I feel,
     G
I've got to;
Em G     C
   Run a-way,
     G
I've got to;
Em G     C
   Get a-way,
         G
From the pain,
    Em       G
You drive in-to,
    C        G
The heart of me.

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

Chorus 1:

E
 Once I ran to you,
G
 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...

 All, Tainted love,

 Ooh oh oh,
Em  G       C     G
    Tainted love.

Verse 2:

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

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

Chorus 2:

E
 Once I ran to you,
G
 Now I run from you,
C
 This tainted love,
You've given,
  Am
I give you all,
A boy could give you.

 Take my tears,
And that's not nearly...

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

Verse 3:

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

    Touch me baby,

 Tainted love.
