Em G C (G x Asus2 x - triplet feel) (x2)
[Verse 1 - on Em you can play double snare sometimes to emphasise that bit]
Some
[Em] times, [G] I [C] feel, I've [G-Asus2] got to;
[Em] [G] Run a- [C] way, I've [G-Asus2] got to;
[Em] [G] Get A- [C] way, From the [G-Asus2] pain you
[Em] drive in- [G] to the [C] heart [G-Asus2] of me. The
[Em] love [G] we [C] share, [G-Asus2] seems to,
[Em] Go [G] no [C] where [G-Asus2] And I've
[Em] lost [G] my [C] light, [G-Asus2] For I
[Em] toss and [G] turn; I can't [C] sleep at [G-Asus2] night.
[Chorus 1]
[E] Once I ran to you, [G] now I run from you,
[C] This tainted love you've given,
I [Am] give you all a boy could give you.
[Asus2] Take my tears and that's not nearly...
[Em] All, [G] Tainted [C] love, [G-Asus2] oh, oh, oh,
[Em] ..... [G] Tainted [C] love. [G-Asus2] ..................
[Verse 2]
[Em] Now [G] I [C] know, I've [G-Asus2] got to;
[Em] [G] Run a- [C] way, I've [G-Asus2] got to;
[Em] [G] Get A- [C] way [G-Asus2] You don't
[Em] really [G] want any [C] more [G-Asus2] from me to
[Em] make [G] things [C] right [G-Asus2] You need some
[Em] one to [G] hold you [C] tight. [G-Asus2] And you
[Em] think love [G] is to [C] pray, [G-Asus2] But I'm
[Em] sorry, [G] I don't [C] pray that [G-Asus2] way.
[Chorus 2]
[E] Once I ran to you, [G] now I run from you,
[C] This tainted love you've given,
I [Am] give you all a boy could give you.
[Asus2] Take my tears and that's not nearly...
[Em] All, [G] Tainted [C] love, [G-Asus2] oh, oh, oh,
[Em] ..... [G] Tainted [C] love. [G-Asus2] ..................
[Verse 3]
Don't [Em] touch [G] me, [C] please, I [G-Asus2] can not
[Em] stand the [G] way you [C] tease. [G-Asus2] I
[Em] love you, though you [G] hurt me [C] so, [G-Asus2] Now I'm
[Em] going to [G] pack my [C] things and [G-Asus2] go.
[Outro]

[Em] [G] Tainted [C] love, [G-Asus2] oh, oh, oh,
[Em] [G] Tainted [C] love, [G-Asus2] oh, oh, oh.
