     Em    G C          G
Some-times I feel, I've got to;

   Run a-way, I've got to;
Em G     C
   Get a-way,
         G        Em
From the pain you drive,
   G      C        G
In-to the heart of me.

    Em   G  C
The love we share,
G          Em G     C
 Seems to;    go no-where.
G         Em   G  C      G
 And I've lost my light,
      Em
For I toss and turn;
        G
I can't sleep at night.

Chorus 1:

E
 Once I ran to you,
G
 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...

 All, Tainted love,

 Oh oh oh,

    Tainted love.

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
You don't really want,
    G
Any more from me.

   Em   G      C
To make things right,
    G         Em
You need some-one,
   G        C
To hold you tight.
G        Em
 And you think love,
G      C
 Is to pray,
G        Em
 But I'm sorry,
        G
I don't pray that way.

Chorus 2:

E
 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.

 Take my tears and that's not nearly...

      Em    G  C
Don't touch me please,
  G       Em
I can not stand,
    G       C
The way you tease.
  Em
I love you though you;
G        C
 Hurt me so,
G        Em
 Now I'm going to,
        G
Pack my things and go.
