*CAPO 3rd FRET*
(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]
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]
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.
