[Verse 1]
(Am)   Em     Em/G C         Am/G Am Em Em/G     C
Some - times, I    feel I've got  to ...run  a - way,
     Am/G Am  Em  Em/G    C
I've got  to   ...get a - way,
         Am       Em             Em/G
From the pain you drive into the heart of me,
    Em   Em/G C     Am/G  Am  Em Em/G C
The love we   share seems to  go no - where,
Am/G  Am   Em   Em/G  C
And   I've lost my    light,
Am/G Am Em                     Em/G
For  I  toss and turn, I can't sleep at night
 
[Chorus]
E                       Em/G
   Once I ran to you,(I ran!) now I run from you,
C
   This tainted love you've given,
  Am
I give you all a boy could give you,
Am                                   Em
Take my tears, and that's not nearly all,
Em/G          C          Am/G  Am  Em
      Tainted love, (Oh, woh - oh, oh!)
Em/G    C    Am/G  Am
Tainted love
 
[Verse 2]
Em  Em/G  C         Am/G Am  Em  Em/G    C
Now I     know I've got  to   ...run a - way,
     Am/G Am  Em  Em/G    C
I've got  to   ...get a - way,
Am/G Am    Em              Em/G
You  don't really want any more from me,
   Em   Em/G   C
To make things right,
    Am/G  Am     Em        Em/G     C
You need  some - one ...to hold you tight,
Am/G Am  Em         Em/G   C
And  you think love is  to pray,
Am/G Am  Em             Em/G
But  I'm sorry, I don't pray that way
 
[Chorus]
E                       Em/G
   Once I ran to you,(I ran!) now I run from you,
C
   This tainted love you've given,
  Am
I give you all a boy could give you,
Am                                   Em
Take my tears, and that's not nearly all,
Em/G          C          Am/G  Am  Em
      Tainted love, (Oh, woh - oh, oh!)
Em/G    C
Tainted love
 
[Verse 3]
Am/G  Am    Em    Em/G  C
      Don't touch me,  please,
  Am/G  Am  Em        Em/G    C      Am/G
I can - not stand the way you tease------,
Am Em                   Em/G    C
I  love you, though you hurt me so,
Am/G Am  Em            Em/G
Now  I'm gonna pack my things and go
