          Sometimes I feel I've got to run away. I got to get away from the pain you drive into the heart of me.

          The love we share seems to go nowhere. And I've lost my light. I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night

Pre-Chorus: e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
            B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

            E|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-------------------------------------------------|

Once I ran to you (I ran). Now I run from you.

               This tainted love you've given, I give you all a boy could give you.

               Take my tears and that's not nearly ALL!

          Now I know I've got to run away. I got to get away, you don't really want any more from me.

          To make things right you need someone to hold you tight.

          And you think love is to pray. But I'm sorry, I don't pray that way.

               Once I ran to you (I ran). Now I run from you.

               This tainted love you've given, I give you all a boy could give you.

               Take my tears and that's not nearly ALL!

          Touch me, baby, tainted love. Touch me, baby, tainted love. Tainted love (oh). Tainted love (oh)

          Tainted love. Tainted love......
