Soft Cell, Tainted Love (1981)
Key: :[C#m] (w: Ed Cobb) (Gloria Jones, 1964, Key: G#m)
INTRO: [C#5] [E5] [A5] [E5]^
[F#5] :
[x2]
VERSE 1:
Some-
[*]-times I feel I've got to
[*] run away, I've got to
[*] get away
From the
[C#m] pain you drive into the
[E5] heart of me
The
[*] love we share seems to
[*] go nowhere, and I've
[*] lost my light
For I
[C#m] toss and turn I can't
[E5] sleep at night
CHORUS:
[C#] Once I ran to you,
[E] now I run from you
[A] This tainted love you've given, I
[F#m] give you all a boy could give you
[F#m] Take my tears and that's not nearly all
[*] Tainted love, oh
[*] Tainted love
VERSE 2:
[*] Now I know I've got to
[*] run away, I've got to
[*] get away
You don't
[C#m] really want any-
[E5]-more from me
To
[*] make things right, you need some-
[*]-one to hold you tight
And you
[*] think love is to pray, but I'm
[C#] sorry I don't
[E5] pray that way
REPEAT CHORUS:
OUTRO:
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;
[*] Tainted love, oh oh oh
[*] Tainted love, oh oh oh;
[*] Tainted love, oh oh oh
[*] Touch me baby, tainted love;
[*] Touch me baby, tainted love
[*] Tainted love, oh oh oh;
[*] Tainted love, oh oh oh;
[*] Tainted love
