Tainted Love - Soft Cell

Sometimes, I feel, I've got to       [Verse]

Run away, I've got to            (Fm-G#

Get away - From the pain you      C#-Bbs2 x7)

    drive into the heart of me    Fm G#

The love we share - Seems to go nowhere

And I've lost my light

For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night


[Chorus] F F G# G# -  C# C# Bbm Bbm

         Bbs2 Bbs2   - (Fm-G# C#-Bbs2 x2)

Once I ran to you  - Now I 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

Tainted love, ohohoh ohhh - Tainted love


((Now I know/Run away), I've got to x2)

Get away - You don't really

    want any more from me            [Intro]

To make things right                    (x2)

You need someone to hold you tight    Fm-G#

And you think love is to pray         C#-Bbs2

But I'm sorry, I don't pray that way


Don't touch me, please              [Chorus]

I can not stand the way you tease

I love you though you hurt me, so

((Now I'm gonna pack my things and go/

  (Touch me, baby, tainted love x2))

 (Tainted love, ohohoh ohhh x4) x2)
