🎸 Verse:


    A     C F         C     A
Sometimes I feel I've got to
C    F        C     A
Run away I've got to
C    F
Get away
         C       A       C       F        C
From the pain you drive into the heart of me
    A    C  F
The love we share
C        A  C  F
Seems to go nowhere
C        A    C  F
And I've lost my light
C       A
Cause I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

Once I ran to you
C
Now I'll run from you
F
This tainted love you've given
  D
I give you all a girl could give you

Take my tears and that's not nearly all

A  C         F
Oooh Tainted love
C A  C       F    C
Oooh tainted love

Run away I've got to
C    F
Get away
    C            A    C   F         C
You don't really want any more from me
   A    C      F
To make things right
    C        A      C        F
You need someone to hold you tight
C       A     C          F
And you think love is to pray
C       A
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way

Once I ran to you
C
Now I'll run from you
F
This tainted love you've given
  D
I give you all a girl could give you

Take my tears and that's not nearly all
