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.
