(Original Key: Gm)
Intro:
Em G C G (x2)
Verse 1:
Em G C G
Some-times, I feel, I've got to;
Em G C G
Run a-way, I've got to;
Em G C
Get A-way,
G Em G C G
From the pain you drive in-to the heart of me.
Em G C G
The love we share, seems to,
Em G C
Go no-where.
G Em G C G
And I've lost my light,
Em G
For I toss and turn; I can't sleep at night.
Chorus 1:
E G
Once I ran to you, 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...
Em G C G
All, Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Em G C G
Tainted love.
Verse 2:
Em G C G
Now I know, I've got to;
Em G C G
Run a-way, I've got to;
Em G C
Get A-way.
G Em G
You don't really want any more from me.
Em G C
To make things right,
G Em G C
You need some-one to hold you tight.
G Em G C
And you think love is to pray,
G Em G
But I'm sorry, I don't pray that way.
Chorus 2:
E G
Once I ran to you, 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...
Em G C G
All, Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Em G C G
Tainted love.
Verse 3:
Em G C
Don't touch me, please,
G Em G C
I can not stand the way you tease.
Em G C
I love you, though you hurt me so,
G Em G
Now I'm going to pack my things and go.
Coda:
Em G C G
Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Em G C G
Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.
Em G C G
Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Em G C G
Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.
Em G C G
Touch me, baby, tainted love,
Em G C G
Touch me, baby, tainted love.
Em G C G
Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Em G C G
Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.

Tabbed by Joel from cLuMsY, Bristol, England, 2007 (clumsyband@hotmail.com)
I am not sure if its correct, but the second time the G comes around in the main riff I like to jump quickly to Am
Em..G..C..G.Am
Thaats because the bass moves from a
Bflat to a C
(or... on a guitar with capo on the third fret...from a "G" chord shape to an "A" ..."A minor" in this case)
"Bflat" to "C" = "G" to "A" with a capo on third.
Same notes
So it sounds natural to go to an a minor i think
THis is a great tab anyway. 5 stars
The last chord is a hammer on from G (with the open g on top hammering to an 'a' for a G6 chord.
