[E] I ache for the touch [Am] of your lips, dear, [D] But much more for the touch [G] of your whip,
still.
[B] You can raise welts [E] like [C] nobody else [Gbm] As we dance to the masochism [E] tango.
[Em] [B]
[E] [Em] Let our love be a flame, [Am] not an ember, Say [D] it's me that you want to [G] dismember.
[B]
Blacken my eye, [Em] set fire to my tie [B] As we dance to the [Em] masochism tango.
[B]
[Em] [Am] At your command, [D] for you [G] here I stand, [Em] My heart is [Am] in my [B] hand, yeah.
[Eb] It's here that [Em] I must be, my [Am] heart [D] entreats, Just hear those [G] savage beats,
[Em] And go put [Am] on your [D] cleats, and come and [B] trample me.
[B] [Em] Your heart is heartless, though [Am] nor mahogany, [D] That's why I'm in such [G] exquisite agony.
[B]
My soul is on fire, [Em] it's [C] aflame with desire, Which [Abm] is why I perspire when we [Em] tango.
You [C] caught my nose in your left [F] castanet, love, I can feel the [B] pain yet, love,
Every time I [Em] hear drums, and I envy [C] the rose, That you held in [F] your teeth, love,
With the thorns [B] underneath, love, Sticking into your [C] gums.
[B] [C]
[B] [Em] Your eyes cast a spell that [Am]
bewitches, [D] The last time I needed [G] twenty stitches,
[B] To sew up the gash at [Em] your needle, [C] You're lush [B] as we dance [Em] to the masochism tango.
Bash [Am] in my brain, [D] and make me [G] scream with pain, [Em] And kick me [Am] once again, [Cm] and swear we'll [Em] never part.
I [Am] know full well [D] I'm underneath [G] your spell, So [Em] darling, if [Am] you smell [D] something burning, [B] it's my heart.
[Em] Take your cigarette [Am] from its holder, [D] And burn your [G] initials in my shoulder.
[B] Fracture my spine, [Em] and swear [C] that you're [B] mine, As we dance to the [Em] masochism tango.
[B] [Em] [B] [E]
