[Intro]
Em  G5  C5  G5 A5     x2
 
[Verse 1]
A5    Em         C5         A5      Em          C5
Some - times, I    feel I've got  to ...run  a - way,
     A5       Em          C5
I've got  to   ...get a - way,
         A5       Em             G5      A5
From the pain you drive into the heart of me,
    Em        C5    A5        Em      C5
The love we   share seems to  go no - where,
A5         Em         C5
And   I've lost my    light,
A5      Em                     G5      A5
For  I  toss and turn, I can't sleep at night
 
[Chorus]
Em                      G5
   Once I ran to you,I ran!  now I run from you,
C5
   This tainted love you've given,
  A5
I give you all a boy could give you,
Em                G5         A5      Em
Take my tears, and that's not nearly all,
Em            C5         A5        Em
      Tainted love, Oh, woh - oh, oh! 
Em      C5   A5
Tainted love
 
[Verse 2]
Em        C5        A5       Em          C5
Now I     know I've got  to   ...run a - way,
     A5       Em          C5
I've got  to   ...get a - way,
A5       Em               G5        A5
You  don't really want any more from me,
   Em          C5
To make things right,
    A5           Em                 C5
You need  some - one ...to hold you tight,
A5       Em                C5
And  you think love is  to pray,
A5       Em             G5       A5
But  I'm sorry, I don't pray that way
 
[Chorus]
Em                      G5
   Once I ran to you,I ran!  now I run from you,
C5
   This tainted love you've given,
  A5
I give you all a boy could give you,
Em                G5         A5      Em
Take my tears, and that's not nearly all,
Em            C5         A5        Em
      Tainted love, Oh, woh - oh, oh! 
Em      C5
Tainted love
 
[Bridge]
A5          Em          C5
      Don't touch me,  please,
  A5        Em                C5     A5
I can - not stand the way you tease------
A5  Em                           C5
 I   love you, though you hurt me so,
A5       Em            C5
Now  I'm gonna pack my things and go
 
[Coda]
Em          C5         A5        Em
    Tainted love, Oh, woh - oh, oh! 
Em      C5         A5        Em
Tainted love, Oh, woh - oh, oh! 
Em      C5         A5        Em
Tainted love, Oh, woh - oh, oh! 
Em      C5         A5        Em
Tainted love, Oh, woh - oh, oh! 
Em               C5      A5          Em
Touch me, baby, tainted love------
              Touch me, taint - ed love!
Em              C5        A5         Em
Touch me, baby, tainted   love------
               Touch me, taint - ed love!
 
[Outro]
Em      C5         A5        Em
Tainted love, Oh, woh - oh, oh! 
Em      C5         A5        Em
Tainted love, Oh, woh - oh, oh! 
Em      C5   A5      Em          C5   A5      Em
Tainted love,            tainted love-----------!
