Tainted Love Tab

by Soft Cell


B means the German B, i.e. Bflat. "G..." means the same sequence as in the first line.
That's the way I once wrote it down for myself. I hope it will be useful for anyone.

Tainted Love 
                           
Sometimes I feel I've got to
                  
     Run away I've got to
                                               
     Get away from the pain that you drive into the heart of me
     ...                  ...
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 


     Once I ran to you (I ran to you)

     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
...
      Tainted love
...
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 

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
Tainted love 
       ... 
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, tainted love...      Touch me baby, tainted love...
