Lyrics

[Intro]
| Gm -  | - - | - Bb | Eb Csus2 |
| Gm Bb |

[Verse 1]
Eb Csus2         Gm Bb    Eb     Csus2
        Sometimes   I feel  I've got  to
Gm Bb      Eb     Csus2
   Run away  I've got  to
Gm Bb      Eb
   Get away
         Csus2    Gm             Bb
From the pain you drive into the heart of me
        Gm Bb    Eb
The lovewe  share
Csus2      Gm Bb     Eb
Seems to go   nowhere
Csus2         Gm Bb      Eb
And  I've lost   my light
Csus2      Gm                 Bb
For  I toss  and turn I can't sleep at night

[Pre-Chorus]
G
 Once I ran to you
Bb
  Now, I'll run from you
Eb
  This tainted love you've given
  Cm
I give you all a boy could give you
                                       Gm Bb
Take my tears and that's not nearly all

[Chorus]
        Eb  Csus2
Tainted love
Gm    Bb    Eb Csus2
  Tainted love

[Verse 2]
Gm   Bb    Eb     Csus2
Now, I know  I've got  to
Gm Bb       Eb     Csus2
   Run away,  I've got  to
Gm Bb      Eb
   Get away
Csus2          Gm          Bb
You  don't really want any more from me
       Gm      Bb     Eb        Csus2
To make  things  right  You need
       Gm   Bb            Eb
someone  to hold you tight
Csus2         Gm     Bb        Eb
And  you think  love is to pray
Csus2       Gm          Bb
But  I'm sorry, I don't pray that way

[Pre-Chorus]
G
 Once I ran to you
Bb
  Now, I'll run from you
Eb
  This tainted love you've given
  Cm
I give you all a boy could give you
                                       Gm Bb
Take my tears and that's not nearly all

[Chorus]
        Eb  Csus2
Tainted love
Gm    Bb    Eb Csus2
  Tainted love

[Interlude]
      Gm    Bb Eb
Don't touch me please
  Csus2       Gm       Bb    Eb   Csus2
I cannot stand  the way  you tease
      Gm                Bb        Eb
I love  you, though you hurt me so
Csus2    Gm            Bb
Now, I'm gonna pack my things and go

[Chorus]
Gm    Bb    Eb Csus2
  Tainted love
Gm    Bb    Eb Csus2
  Tainted love
Gm    Bb      Eb Csus2
  Tainted love
Gm    Bb      Eb Csus2
  Tainted love

[Outro]
Gm     Bb          Eb      Csus2
  Touch  me, baby, tainted love 
Gm     Bb          Eb      Csus2
  Touch  me, baby, tainted love 
Gm    Bb    Eb Csus2
  Tainted love
Gm    Bb
  Tainted love
Eb  Csus2 Bb Eb Csus2
Tainted  love
