The ^Emlove ^Gwe ^Cshare,^G seems to, ^Em ^GGo no-^Cwhere. ^G And I've ^Emlost ^Gmy ^Clight,^G For I ^Emtoss and turn; I can't ^Gsleep at night.

Chorus 1:

^E Once I ran to you,^G now I run from you, ^C This tainted love you've given, I ^Amgive you all a boy could give you. ^A Take my tears and that's not nearly... ^Em All,^G Tainted ^Clove, ^Goh, oh, oh, ^Em ^GTainted ^Clove.^G

Verse 2:

^Em Now ^GI ^Cknow, I've ^Ggot to; ^Em ^GRun a-^Cway, I've ^Ggot to; Em G C Get A-way. You ^Gdon't ^Emreally want any ^Gmore from me.

To ^Emmake ^Gthings ^Cright, You ^Gneed some-^Emone to ^Ghold you ^Ctight. ^G And you ^Emthink love ^Gis to ^Cpray, ^G But I'm ^Emsorry, I don't ^Gpray that way.

Chorus 2:

Verse 3:

Don't ^Emtouch ^Gme, ^Cplease, I ^Gcan not ^Emstand the ^Gway you ^Ctease. I ^Emlove you, though you ^Ghurt me ^Cso, ^G Now I'm ^Emgoing to pack my ^Gthings and go.

^Em ^G Tainted ^Clove, ^Goh, oh, oh, ^Em ^G Tainted ^Clove, ^Goh, oh, oh.
