Intro:

F#m A D Bm (x2)

Verse 1:

   F#m  A D    Bm
Sometimes I feel, I've got to;
F#m A  D     Bm
  Run away, I've got to;
F#m A   D
  Get away,
   Bm    F#m
From the pain you drive,
    A
Into the heart of me.

  F#m A     D
The love we share,
 Bm      F#m A   D
 Seems to;  go no where.
Bm    F#m A    D
 And I've lost my light,
Bm    F#m
For I toss and turn;
    A
I can't sleep at night.

Chorus 1:

F#m
 Once I ran to you,
A
 Now I run from you,
D
 This tainted love you've given,
 Bm
I give you all a boy could give you.

 Take my tears and that's not nearly...
 F#m    A   D
 All____, Tainted love,
Bm
 Oh oh oh,
F#m A      D Bm
  Tainted love.

Verse 2:

F#m  A  D   Bm
Now I know, I've got to;
F#m A   D     Bm
  Run away, I've got to;
F#m A  D
  Get away.
Bm      F#m
You don't really want,
  A
Any more from me.

  F#m  A   Bm
To make things right,
  Bm    F#m
You need someone,
  A    D
To hold you tight.
Bm    F#m
 And you think love,
A     D
 Is to pray,
Bm     F#m
 But I'm sorry,
    A
I don't pray that way.

Chorus

Bridge:

D Bm   F#m  A D
  Don't touch me please,
 Bm    F#m
I cannot stand,
  A    D   Bm
The way you tease.
 F#m
I love you though you;
A    D
 Hurt me so,
Bm    F#m
 Now I'm going to,
    A
Pack my things and go.

 Oh oh oh,

   Tainted love,
Bm
 Oh oh oh.

   Tainted love,
Bm
 Oh oh oh,
F#m A    D
   Tainted love,
Bm
 Oh oh oh.

D    Bm
 Tainted love,

 Tainted love.
