Soft Cell
Tainted Love
Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret (1981)

Em  G  C  G  A  x 2

    Em    G C         G   A   Em
Sometimes I feel I've got to
G    C        G   A   Em
Run away I've got to
G    C
Get away 
         G    A   Em             G
From the pain you drive into the heart of me

The love we share (oh oh oh oh)
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

  E
  Once I ran to you (I ran)
  G
  Now I'll run from you
  C
  This tainted love you've given
  Am
  I give you all a boy could give you
  Take my tears and that's not nearly all

  Tainted love (oh oh oh oh), tainted love

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

  Refrain
  
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you - tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack my things and go

Tainted love (oh oh oh oh)  x 4

Touch me baby, tainted love  x 2

Tainted love (oh oh oh oh)  x 3

... fade out
