xB 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
[Verse]
G B D# B C
Sometimes I feel I've got to
G B D# B C
Run away I've got to
G B D# B C G B
Get away from the pain that you drive into the heart of me
G... G...
The love we share seems to go nowhere
G... G B
And I' ve lost my light for I toss and turn I can't sleep at night
[Chorus]
G
Once I ran to you (I ran to you)
B
Now I'll run from you
D#
This tainted love you've given
C
I give you all a boy could give you
D
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
G...
Tainted love
G...
Oh... Tainted love
[Verse]
G... G... G...
Now I know I've got to run away I've got to get away
G B
You don't really want any more from me
G...
To make things right
G...
You need someone to hold you tight
G...
And you think love is to pray
G B
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way
[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
G...
Don't touch me please
G...
I cannot stand the way you tease
G...
I love you though you hurt me so
G B
Now I'm going to pack my things and go
G... G...
Tainted love, tainted love... Touch me baby, tainted love...
