[Verse 1]
 
     Gm     A# D#          Csus2
Some-times, I feel, I've got to;
Gm A#     D#         Csus2
   Run a-way, I've got to;
Gm A#     D#
   Get A-way,
         Csus2       Gm       A#      D#        Csus2
From the pain you drive in-to the heart of me.
 
    Gm   A#  D#     Csus2
The love we share, seems to,
Gm  A#     D#
    Go no-where.
A#         Gm   A#  D#    Csus2
 And I've lost my light,
      Gm                     A#
For I toss and turn; I can't sleep at night.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G                  A#
 Once I ran to you, now I run from you,
D#
 This tainted love you've given,
  Cm
I give you all a boy could give you.
Csus2
 Take my tears and that's not nearly...
Gm   A#        D#     Csus2
 All, Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Gm  A#       D#    Csus2
    Tainted love.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Gm   A# D#          Csus2
 Now I know, I've got to;
Gm A#     D#         Csus2
   Run a-way, I've got to;
Gm A#     D#
   Get A-way.
    Csus2     Gm              A#
You don't really want any more from me.
 
   Gm   A#      D#
To make things right,
    Csus2         Gm     A#        D#
You need some-one to hold you tight.
Csus2        Gm         A#     D#
 And you think love is to pray,
Csus2        Gm             A#
 But I'm sorry, I don't pray that way.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G                  A#
 Once I ran to you, now I run from you,
D#
 This tainted love you've given,
  Cm
I give you all a boy could give you.
Csus2
 Take my tears and that's not nearly...
Gm   A#        D#     Csus2
 All, Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Gm  A#       D#    Csus2
    Tainted love.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
      Gm    A#   D#
Don't touch me, please,
  Csus2       Gm        A#       D#
I can not stand the way you tease.
  Gm                   A#       D#
I love you, though you hurt me so,
Csus2        Gm               A#
 Now I'm going to pack my things and go.

Gm  A#        D#     Csus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Gm  A#        D#     Csus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.
Gm  A#        D#     Csus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Gm  A#        D#     Csus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.
 
Gm  A#               D#       Csus2
    Touch me, baby, tainted love,
Gm  A#               D#       Csus2
    Touch me, baby, tainted love.
 
Gm  A#        D#     Csus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Gm  A#        D#     Csus2
     Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.
