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  
    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  

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  
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  

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  
       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...
