And tell you time and time again
How much I care.
I sometimes feel my heart will overflow.
Hello, I've just got to let you know.
'Cause I wonder where you are.
And I wonder what you do.
Are you somewhere feeling lonely?
Or is there someone loving you?
Tell me, how to win your heart,
For I haven't got a clue.
But let me start by saying
I love you.

It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

I don't know where this road
Is going to lead
All I know is where we've been
And what we've been through.
If we get to see tomorrow
I hope it's worth all the wait
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

[Verse] Em G7 C B7
You know I've heard it said there's beauty in distortion
By some people who've withdrawn to find their heads
Now they say that there is humor in misfortune
Am7 D G /
You know I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead
[Chorus] C G Am7 G
Why am I fighting to live if I 'm just living to fight?
D7 Em Am7 D7
Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?
G C B7 Em
Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
C G Am7 G
Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?
[Verse] Em G7 C B7
Bey, you know some people say that values are subjective
But they're just speaking words that someone else has said
And so they live and fight and kill with no objective
Am7 D G /
Sometimes it's hard to tell the living from the dead
[Chorus]
[Verse] Em G7 C B7
Yeah, you know I used to weave my words into confusion
And so I hope you'll understand me when I 'm through
You know I used to live my life as an illusion
But reality will make my dreams come true
[Chorus] C G Am7 G
So I'll keep fighting to live till there's no reason to fight
D7 Em Am7 D7
And I'll keep trying to see until the end is in sight
G C B7 Em
You know I'm trying to give so c'mon give me a try
C G Am7 G
You know I'm dying to live until I'm ready to die.

[Verse 1] C#m7 G#m7 B F#
Tastes like strawberries
On a summer evening
And it sounds just like a song
I want more berries
And that summer feeling
It's so wonderful and warm
Pre Chorus:
Breathe me in, breathe me out
I don't know if I could ever go without
I'm just thinking out loud
I don't know if I could ever go without
[Chorus] Watermelon sugar high 4X
[Verse 2]
Strawberries
On a summer evening
Baby, you're the end of June
I want your belly
And that summer feeling
Getting washed away in you
Breathe me in, breathe me out
I don't know if I could ever go without
[Chorus]

I just wanna taste it I just wanna taste it
Watermelon sugar high

GGGGGG.. DDDDDD.. CCCC..CC CC..CCCC
I'm packed and I'm Holding, I'm smiling,
She's living, she's golden and she lives for me
She says she lives for me. Ovation.
She's got her own motivation
She comes around and she goes down on me
And I make her smile like a drug for you
Do ever what you want to do
Coming over you
Keep on smiling, what we go through
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
D / C / D / C /
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
Chop another link like a coda with a curse
And I come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games we play, she said
GGGGGG.. DDDDDD.. CCCC..CC CC..CCCC
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say Goodbye
The sky it was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
Some place back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal myth will lift you up until you break
It won't stop I won't come down
I keep stock with a tick-tock rhythm and a bump for the drop
And then I bumped up
I took the hit that I was given
Then I bumped again
And then I bumped again
D / C / D / C /
How do I get back there to
The place where I dell asleep inside you?
How do I get myself back to
The place where you said
GGGGGG.. DDDDDD.. CCCC..CC CC..CCCC
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say Goodbye
I believe in the sand beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling
An earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
And the four right chords can make me cry
When I'm with you I feel like I could die
And that would be all right
All right
D / C / D / C /
When the plance came in
She said she was crashing
The velvet it rips in the city we tripped
On the urge to feel alive
But now I'm struggling to survive
The days you were wearing
That velvet dress
You're the priestess
I must confess
Those little red panties
They pass the test
Slide up around the belly
Face down on the matress
G / D / C / D /
One now you hold me
And we're broken
Still it's all that I want to do
GGGGGG.. DDDDDD.. CCCC..CC CC..CCCC
Feel myself with a head made of the ground
I'm scared but I'm not coming down
No, no, no
And I won't run for my life
She's got her jaws just locked now in smile
But nothing is all right
All right
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say Goodbye...
C Em D
All we do right is make love
C Em D
We both know now it ain't enough

Ain't gonna beg you to stay

Girl rest your head one more time in my bed
D
Love me like you loved me when you loved me
C
And you didn't have to try
Em D
Let's lay down tonight
C Em D
And kiss tomorrow goodbye
Baby who we are just didn't work
But maybe we can leave with something out of all this hurt
Ain't gonna beg you to stay
Ain't gotta ask you what's wrong
Ain't no reason running after something already gone
Take off your leavin' dress
Let's do what we do best
I guess everybody's got their way of moving on
Girl rest your head one more time in my bed
Love me like you loved me when you loved me
And you didn't have to try
Let's lay down tonight
And kiss tomorrow goodbye
Ain't gonna beg you to stay

Ain't no reason running after something already gone
Take off your leavin' dress
Let's do what we do best
I guess everybody's got their way of moving on
Girl rest your head one more time in my bed
Love me like you loved me when you loved me
And you didn't have to try
Let's lay down tonight
And kiss tomorrow goodbye
Let's kiss tomorrow goodbye.

I drove by all the places we used to hang out getting wasted

And even though your friends tell me you're doing fine

Are you somewhere feeling lonely even though he's right beside you?
D G
When he says those words that hurt you, do you read the ones I wrote you?

Sometimes I start to wonder, was it just a lie?

If what we had was real, how could you be fine?

?Cause I?m not fine at all

I remember the day you told me you were leaving
Bm G
I remember the make-up running down your face

And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them
Bm G
Like every single wish we ever made
D A
I wish that I could wake up with amnesia
Bm G
And forget about the stupid little things

Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you

It's hard to hear your name when I haven't seen you in so long

If today I woke up with you right beside me

Like all of this was just some twisted dream
A Bm
I'd hold you closer than I ever did before

And you'd never slip away

And you'd never hear me say

I remember the day you told me you were leaving

F Am G F
I was tired of my lady,
Dm C G Dm7 C
we'd been together too long
G F Am G F
like a worn out recording
Dm C Em7 F C
of a favorite song.
Gm F Am G F
So while she lay there sleepin'
Dm C G Dm7 C
I read the paper in bed
Gm F Am G F
and in the personal columns
Dm C Em7 F C
there was this letter I read.
F Am G F
If you like piña coladas
Dm C G Dm7 C
and gettin' caught in the rain
Gm F Am G F
if you're not into yoga
Dm C Em7 F C
if you have half a brain
Gm F Am G F
if you like makin' love at midnight
Dm C G Dm7 C
in the dunes of a cape
Gm F Am G F
then I'm the love that you've looked for
Dm C Em7 F C
write to me and escape.
F | Am G F | Dm | C | G Dm7 C | Gm
F | Am G F | Dm | C | Em7 F C |
F Am G F
I didn't think about my lady,
Dm C G Dm7 C
I know that sounds kind of mean
Gm F Am G F
But me and my old lady
Dm C Em7 F C
had fallen into the same old dull routine
Gm F Am G F
So I wrote to the paper,
Dm C G Dm7 C
took out a personal ad
Gm F Am G F
And though I'm nobody's poet,
Dm C Em7 F C
I thought it wasn't half bad.
F Am G F
Yes, I like piña coladas
Dm C G Dm7 C
and getting caught in the rain
Gm F Am G F
I'm not much into health food,
Dm C Em7 F C
I am into champagne
Gm F Am G F
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon
Dm C G Dm7 C
and cut through all this red tape
Gm F Am G F
At a bar called O'Malley's
Dm C Em7 F C
where we'll plan our escape.
F | Am G F | Dm | C | G Dm7 C | Gm
F | Am G F | Dm | C | Em7 F C |
F Am G F
So I waited with high hopes
Dm C G Dm7 C
and she walked in the place
Gm F Am G F
I knew her smile in an instant,
Dm C Em7 F C
I knew the curve of her face
Gm F Am G F
It was my own lovely lady
Dm C G Dm7 C
and she said, Aw, it's you.
Gm F Am G F
Then we laughed for a moment
Dm C Em7 F C
and I said, I never knew.
F Am G F
That you like piña coladas
Dm C G Dm7 C
and gettin' caught in the rain
Gm F Am G F
And the feel of the ocean
Dm C Em7 F C
and the taste of champagne
Gm F Am G F
If you like making love at midnight
Dm C G Dm7 C
in the dunes on the cape
Gm F Am G F
You're the lady I've looked for,
Dm C Em7 F C
come with me and escape
F | Am G F | Dm | C | G Dm7 C | Gm
F | Am G F | Dm | C | Em7 F C |
F Am G F
If you like piña coladas
Dm C G Dm7 C
and gettin' caught in the rain
Gm F Am G F
if you're not into yoga
Dm C Em7 F C
if you have half a brain
Gm F Am G F
if you like makin' love at midnight
Dm C G Dm7 C
in the dunes of a cape
Gm F Am G F
then I'm the love that you've looked for
Dm C Em7 F C
write to me and escape.
F Am G F
Yes, I like piña coladas
Dm C G Dm7 C
and getting caught in the rain
Gm F Am G F
I'm not much into health food,

I am into champagne

Father says your mother's right, she's really up on things.

Johny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
D
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
A
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
E
The man in the coon-skip cap
In the big pen
A
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten.

Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the DA
D
Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
A
Walk on your tip toes
Don't try, 'No Doz'
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
E
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
A
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows.
A
A
Get sick, get well
Hang around an ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write Braille
Get jailed, jump bail, Join the army, if you failed
D
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
A
But users, cheaters
Six-time losers
Hang around the theaters
E
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
A
Don't follow leaders
Watch the parkin' meters.
A
A
Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
B
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
A
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
E
Don't wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
A
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles.
Verse 1: At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong And I learned how to get along
And so you're back From outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key
If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
Chorus: Go on now, go, walk out the door
Just turn around now 'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
You think I'd crumble? You think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I, I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I will survive, hey, hey
Verse 2: It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh-so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry But now I hold my head up high
and you see me Somebody new
I'm not that chained-up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
Well, now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me

So I went hard like Medusa starin' at me,
I told her, Let's go! Let's blow this lame factory!
She said, What kind of girl do you think that I are?
The kind that you meet in a bar?
You think you can get whatever you want
Cuz you some kind of star...
No, I'm a comet, I
Just want you woman, hey
If I were you it would be me that I'd go home with, 3
The one and only
One thang you ain't considered,
I heard you when you told your girl, Oooh, he can get it...
Admit it!
You did it!
Let's hop a cab, and split it!
I'm kiddin'!
We both goin' to where you livin'!
Ha! I got you gigglin' like a piglet!
Oh, that's the ticket!
I hope you more like Anita Baker than Robin Givens.
No, I don't know that lady so let me quit it,
I'm just style-freein',
Freestylin' which I seldom do,
This is what I'm tellin' you,
To the bed I'm nailin' you,
Like I've been in jail for two,
Years and then they let me loose...
give me the green light
give me just one night
im ready to go right now
im ready to go right now
we could go all night
give me the green light
im ready to go right now
im ready to go right now
im ready to go right now
im ready to go right now
im ready to go right now
im ready to go right now

Lower than your mama's ever seen it in her lifetime
Never would've imagined it, not even in her right mind
Practice in front of that mirror, now you doing it on the dance flo'
Mad 'cause I can't get with you, chick, just show me how to dance, oh
I may not wanna get low, so I'm posted up, kinda like a player do
But if you come to the crib, then I might show you girls a thang or two
Yeah, I think you a superstar, with a ass like that you gotta blow
Befo' you make it big, there's just one thang that I gotta know
How low can you go? How low can you go? [x4]

Go low (go low), lower than you know [x3]

How many licks does it take 'til I get to the center and let a realer take you home?
I can make this show stop, soon as he hear this fo' pop
From ATLANTA all the way down to yo' block
Put the needle on the record
And I make her get lower than a Lamborghini
And if she really get low, then I'ma shoot a video and put it all on TV
'Cause I like that French vanilla (French vanilla)
And the caramel (and the caramel)
But when it comes to chocolate (when it comes to chocolate)

Asian persuasion, no discrimination, I love how they seem to please us
I wanna taste them butter Rican pecan peanut butter cups like Reese's Pieces

How low can you go? How low can you go? [x4]

Go low (go low), lower than you know [x3]

Show me whatchu working with, I'll show you some of this bank, roll

Waitin on a woman
And he nudged my arm like old men do, and said

Waitin on a woman
(chorus)
Am (G)
And I don't guess we'd been anywhere
F
She hasn't made us late I swear,

and Dm.
It's the hard knock lCife (uh-huh) Dfor Eus
It's the hard knock lEife, Dfor Cus!!
Steada Treated,Cwe Dget Etricked
Steada kisses, Ewe gDet Ckicked
It's the hard knock life!! C D E
Verse
Just keep repeating C D E, E D C But here are the rest of the words-
From standin on the corners boppin
to drivin some of the hottest cars New York has ever seen
For droppin some of the hottest verses rap has ever heard
From the dope spot, with the smoke Glock
fleein the murder scene, you know me well
from nightmares of a lonely cell, my only hell
But since when y'all z know me to fail? Fuck naw
Where all my z with the rubber grips, bust shots
And if you with me mom I rub on your tits, and what-not
I'm from the school of the hard knocks, we must not
let outsiders violate our blocks, and my plot
let's stick up the world and split it fifty/fifty, uh-huh
Let's take the dough and stay real jiggy, uh-huh
And sip the Cris' and get pissy-pissy
Flow infinitely like the memory of my Biggie, baby!
You know it's hell when I come through
The life and times of Shawn Carter
Volume 2, y'all z get ready
Chorus
Verse
I flow for those 'dro'ed out; all my z
locked down in the ten by fo', controllin the house
We live in hard knocks, we don't take over we borrow blocks
Burn em down and you can have it back daddy, I'd rather that
I flow for chicks wishin, they ain't have to strip to pay tuition
I see you vision mama, I put my money on the longshots
All my ballers that's born to clock
Now Imma be on top whether I perform or not
I went from lukewarm to hot; sleepin on futons and cots
to King Size, dream machines, the green fives
I've seen pies let the thing between my eyes analyze life's ills
Then I put it down type braile
I'm tight grill with the phony, rappers y'all might feel we homies
I'm like still, y'all don't know me, shit!
I'm tight grill when my situation ain't improvin
I'm tryin to murder everything movin, feel me?!
Chorus
Verse
I don't KNOW how to sleep, I gotta eat, stay on my toes
Gotta a lot of beef, so logically, I prey on my foes
Hustling's still inside of me, and as far as progress
you'd be hard-pressed, to find another rapper hot as me
I gave you prophecy on my first joint, and y'all lamed out
Didn't really appreciate it, til the second one came out
So I stretched the game out, X'ed your name out
Put Jigga on top, and drop albums non-stop for ya, uh!
Chorus x2
... It's the hard knock life!!
................ it's the hard knock life!!

Won't change the fact that you're gone.
But if there's something that I could do,
Won't you please let me know?
The time is passing so slowly now,
Guess that's my life without you.
And maybe I could change my everyday,
But, baby, I don't want to.
So I'll just hang around and find some things to do
To take my mind off missing you.
And I know in my heart,
You can't say that you don't love me too.
Please say you do, yeah.

You have my heart,
and we'll never be worlds apart /

Baby, 'cause in the dark /
You can't see shiny cars /
And that's when you need me there /
With you I'll always share
Chorus
When the sun shines,
we'll shine together /
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend /
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out 'til the end
Now that it's raining more than ever /
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella /
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh,
Verse 2:
These fancy things
will never come in between
You're part of my entity,
here for infinity
When the world has took its part
When the world has dealt its cards
If the hand is hard,
together we'll mend your heart

Playing Notes-
1. Just one bass guitar (looped) and one rhythm guitar. As with many classics,
this song is very easy to play. Just get the rhythm down and you are set.
2. I am omitting lyrics since the whole song is based on this simple arrangement.

Baby please, please, please believe me
I don't want you to go, I'm feeling you way more than you know
Cause you, you, you intrigue me
Something I gotta say, without pushing you away
So how do I express, my life is such a mess
If only you knew, if only I could confess
to you, you stole my heart, so why is this so hard
You caught me off-guard, my love is who you are, baby you still are
Tell me why when I tell you how I feel inside,
I feel like I'm doing something wrong
Maybe it's cause of where you are, so near but yet so very far
So come back to where you belong
We've all made mistakes but live and learn just take
Your turn baby return to me
Wasting time with you is all that I want to
I'm dropping all these clues, why can't you see?
That you belong with me
Splashing right through the sea of love
End of story
I, I, I, I wish you would
Think of what you've done is this what you really want
Cause she she she she is no good, not good enough for you
Look at what she's already put you through
Tell me what love really is does it even exist
After the months we've missed, you're still first on my list
I know that this could work, I know we both deserve
I love you more than her, our love is for ever, baby forever
I know you say you need a break so here I will patiently wait
till the day that you come home
Cause I can see us happily, I'll give you all the time you need
I'll give you anything you want
We are both in love so much sometimes it hurts,
I know you feel the way I do
So I will give you time baby, I will let this ride
Cause soon I know you'll realize
That you belong with me
Splashing right through the sea of love

I climb way up to the top of the stairs

Let me tell you now

When I come home feelin' tired and beat

I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)

I get away from the hustling crowd

And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof)

On the roof, the only place I know

Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof)

At night the stars put on a show for free

Of course I remember, how could I forget
How you feel?

Not in my soul, not in my spirit, keep it alive

Til it turns from color to black and white
Or do you not think so far ahead?
Cause I've been thinking about forever
Or do you not think so far ahead?
Cause I've been thinking about

the fingering may look strange, but its a smooth transition going from the G/E > F#/E >
since all you're doing is just sliding down the fretboard. In addition to the chords,
is a dissonent melody that is played during the intro and the chorus. Again on the
recording a keyboard is used, but it sounds pretty cool on an electic guitar with heavy distortion-

Verse 1
Em7
Hey once I was a boogie singer playin' in a rock and roll band
I never had no problems burning down them one night stands
And everything around me got to stop to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly yes I did to disco down and check out the show
Chorus
D Em D E D E D E
Yeah they was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
D Em D Em D Em
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted
Gm7
Play that funky music white boy play that funky music right
Bbm
Play that funky music white boy
Em Bm A7 B7
Lay down a boogie and play that funky music till you die
Verse 2
Em7
I tried to understand this I thought that they were out of their minds
How could I be so foolish how could I to not see I was the one behind
So still I kept on fighting well loosing every step of the way
I said I must go back there I got to go back and check to see if things still the same
Chorus
D Em D E D E D E
Yeah they was dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'
D Em D Em D Em
And just when it hit me somebody turned around and shouted

Play that funky music white boy play that funky music right

Play that funky music white boy
Em7 Bm A7 B7
Lay down a boogie and play that funky music till you die
Till you die
Verse 3
Em7
Now first it wasn't easy changin' rock and roll and minds
And things were getting shaky I thought I'd have to leave it behind
But now its so much better it's so much better I'm funking out in every way
But I'll never lose that feelin' no I won't of how I learned my lesson that day

G Em D C
I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both us
G Em D C
Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us
[B.o.B]
G
Ever thought about losing it?
When your money is all gone and you lose your whip
Em
You might lose your grip
D
When the landlord tell you that you're due for rent
G
And the grass so green on the other side
Make a wanna run straight through the fence
Em
Open up the fridge about 20 times
D
But still can't find no food in it, that's foolishness
G
And sometimes I wonder why we care so much about the way we look
Em
And the way we talk, and the way we act
D
And the clothes we bought, how much that cost?
G
Does it even really matter?
Cuz if life is an uphill battle,
Em
We all try to climb on the same old ladder
D
In the same boat with the same old paddle
G
Why so shallow, I'm just asking
What's the pattern to the madness?
Em
Everybody in a #1 draft pick
D
Most of us aint Hollywood actors
G
But if it's all for one, and one for all, then maybe one day we all can ball
Em
Do it one time for the underdogs
D
Sincerely yours, from one of y'all

I wish I was strong enough to lift not one but both us
G Em D C
Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us

G
I can feel your pain, I can feel your struggle
Em
You just want to live, but everything so low,
D
That you can drown in the puddle
G
That's why I gotta hold us up, yeah hold us up
For all the times no one ever spoke for us
Em
So every single time that they play this song
D
You can say that, that's what Bobby Ray wrote for us
G
When his eyes get too high and the sea up underneath get so deep
Em
And you feel like you're just another person getting lost in the crowd
D
Way up high in the nosebleeds (Uh)
G
Because we've both been there, yeah both of us
But we still stand tall, with our shoulders up
Em
And even though we always against the odds
D
These are the things that have molded us
G
And if life hadn't chosen us, sometimes I wonder
Where I would have wound up
Em
Cuz if it was up to me, I would make a new blueprint
D
Then build it from the ground up
G
Hey, but if its all for one, and One for all
Then maybe one day we all could ball
Em
Do it one time for the underdogs
D
From Bobby Ray to all of y'all

Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us

You're here, I'm pleased
I really dig your company

It always winds up feeling more like a job interview

My momma used to wonder if she'd ever meet someone

Who wouldn't find out about me and then turn around and run

I met the man I call my dad when I was 5 years old

He took my mom out to a movie and for once I got to go

A few months later I remember lying there in bed

I overheard him pop the question and I prayed that she'd say yes... And then

Looking back all I can say about all the things he did for me

I met the girl who's now my wife about three years ago

We had the perfect marriage, but we wanted something more

Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends

Crowded round the nursery window as they bring the baby in... And now

[Verse 1]
Gm A# D# Csus2
Some-times, I feel, I've got to;
Gm A# D# Csus2
Run a-way, I've got to;
Gm A# D#
Get A-way,
Csus2 Gm A# D# Csus2
From the pain you drive in-to the heart of me.
Gm A# D# Csus2
The love we share, seems to,
Gm A# D#
Go no-where.
A# Gm A# D# Csus2
And I've lost my light,
Gm A#
For I toss and turn; I can't sleep at night.
[Chorus]
G A#
Once I ran to you, now I run from you,
D#
This tainted love you've given,
Cm
I give you all a boy could give you.
Csus2
Take my tears and that's not nearly...
Gm A# D# Csus2
All, Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Gm A# D# Csus2
Tainted love.
[Verse 2]
Gm A# D# Csus2
Now I know, I've got to;
Gm A# D# Csus2
Run a-way, I've got to;
Gm A# D#
Get A-way.
Csus2 Gm A#
You don't really want any more from me.
Gm A# D#
To make things right,
Csus2 Gm A# D#
You need some-one to hold you tight.
Csus2 Gm A# D#
And you think love is to pray,
Csus2 Gm A#
But I'm sorry, I don't pray that way.
[Chorus]
G A#
Once I ran to you, now I run from you,
D#
This tainted love you've given,
Cm
I give you all a boy could give you.
Csus2
Take my tears and that's not nearly...
Gm A# D# Csus2
All, Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Gm A# D# Csus2
Tainted love.
[Verse 3]
Gm A# D#
Don't touch me, please,
Csus2 Gm A# D#
I can not stand the way you tease.
Gm A# D#
I love you, though you hurt me so,
Csus2 Gm A#
Now I'm going to pack my things and go.
[Coda]
Gm A# D# Csus2
Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Gm A# D# Csus2
Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.
Gm A# D# Csus2
Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Gm A# D# Csus2
Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.
Gm A# D# Csus2
Touch me, baby, tainted love,
Gm A# D# Csus2
Touch me, baby, tainted love.
Gm A# D# Csus2
Tainted love, oh, oh, oh,
Gm A# D# Csus2
Tainted love, oh, oh, oh.
