Tainted Love  ≡ 

von Soft Cell

-- Intro

A- C F C d-

-- Verse

  Sometimes I feel I′ve got to
  Run away, I've got to
  Get away from the pain you drive into the heart of me
  The love we share
  Seems to go nowhere
  And I′ve lost my light
  For I A- toss and turn, I can't C sleep at night

-- Chorus

A- Once I ran to you (I ran)
C Now I'll run from you
F This tainted love you′ve given
D- I give you all a boy could give you
E Take my tears, and that′s not nearly A- all
  Oh, tainted love (oh, oh)
  Tainted love

-- Verse

  Now I know I've got to
  Run away, I′ve got to
  Get away, you don't really want any more from me
  To make things right
  You need someone to hold you tight
  And you think love is to pray
  But I′m sorry, I don't pray that way

-- Chorus

  Once I ran to you (I ran)
  Now I′ll run from you
  This tainted love you've given
  I give you all a boy could give you
  Take my tears, and that's not nearly all
  Oh, tainted love (oh, oh)
  Tainted love

-- Bridge

  Don′t touch me, please
  I cannot stand the way you tease
  I love you though you hurt me so
  Now I′m gonna pack my things and go

-- Chorus

  Tainted love (oh)
  Tainted love (oh)
  Tainted love (oh)
  Tainted love (oh)
  Touch me, baby, tainted love
  Touch me, baby, tainted love
  Tainted love (oh)
  Tainted love (oh)
  Tainted love
