CAPO 3rd FRET*

[Intro]
        (x2)

[Verse 1]
           
Some-times, I 

            
feel, I've got

      
 to;
          
   Run a-way, 

              
I've got to;
      
   Get A-way,
             
From the pain 

       
you drive in-t

            
o the heart of

        
 me.

          
The love we sh

          
are, seems to,
       
    Go no-wher

e.
      
 And I've lost

         
 my light,
            
For I toss and

            
 turn; I can't

     
 sleep at nigh

t.

[Chorus 1]
             
 Once I ran to

     
 you, now I ru

n from you,

 This tainted 

love you've gi

ven,
  
I give you all

 a boy could g

ive you.
 
 Take my tears

 and that's no

t nearly...
           
 All, Tainted 

         
love, oh, oh, 

  
oh,
          
    Tainted lo

       
ve.

[Verse 2]
          
Now I know, I'

      
ve got to;
          
Run a-way, I'v

      
e got to;
      
 Get A-way.
      
You don't real

           
ly want any mo

 
re from me.

           
To make things

 
 right,
      
You need some-

        
one to hold yo

 
u tight.
          
 And you think

            
 love is to pr

  
ay,
          
 But I'm sorry

            
, I don't pray

  
 that way.

[Chorus 2]
             
 Once I ran to

     
 you, now I ru

n from you,

 This tainted 

love you've gi

ven,
  
I give you all

 a boy could g

ive you.

 Take my tears

 and that's no

t nearly...
           
 All, Tainted 

         
love, oh, oh, 

  
oh,
           
    Tainted lo

          
ve.

[Verse 3]
           
Don't touch me

I love you, th

             
ough you hurt 


me so,
         
 Now I'm going
