Some-^Dmtimes, ^FI ^Ffeel, I've ^Fgot to; ^Dm ^FRun a-^Fway, I've ^Fgot to; Dm F F Get D-way, From the ^Fpain you ^Dmdrive in-^Fto the ^Fheart of ^Fme.

The ^Dmlove ^Fwe ^Fshare,^F seems to, ^Dm ^FGo no-^Fwhere. ^F And I've ^Dmlost ^Fmy ^Flight,^F For I ^Dmtoss and turn; I can't ^Fsleep at night.

Chorus 1:

^A Once I ran to you,^F now I run from you, ^F This tainted love you've given, I ^Dmgive you all a boy could give you. ^D Take my tears and that's not nearly... ^Dm All,^F Tainted ^Flove, ^Foh, oh, oh, ^Dm ^FTainted ^Flove.^F

Verse 2:

^Dm Now ^FI ^Fknow, I've ^Fgot to; ^Dm ^FRun a-^Fway, I've ^Fgot to; Dm F F Get D-way. You ^Fdon't ^Dmreally want any ^Fmore from me.

To ^Dmmake ^Fthings ^Fright, You ^Fneed some-^Dmone to ^Fhold you ^Ftight. ^F And you ^Dmthink love ^Fis to ^Fpray, ^F But I'm ^Dmsorry, I don't ^Fpray that way.

Chorus 2:

Verse 3:

Don't ^Dmtouch ^Fme, ^Fplease, I ^Fcan not ^Dmstand the ^Fway you ^Ftease. I ^Dmlove you, though you ^Fhurt me ^Fso, ^F Now I'm ^Dmgoing to pack my ^Fthings and go.

Coda:

^Dm ^F Tainted ^Flove, ^Foh, oh, oh, ^Dm ^F Tainted ^Flove, ^Foh, oh, oh. ^Dm ^F Tainted ^Flove, ^Foh, oh, oh, ^Dm ^F Tainted ^Flove, ^Foh, oh, oh.

^Dm ^FTouch me, baby, ^Ftainted ^Flove, ^Dm ^FTouch me, baby, ^Ftainted ^Flove.

^Dm ^F Tainted ^Flove, ^Foh, oh, oh, ^Dm ^F Tainted ^Flove, ^Foh, oh, oh.
