_ [A] _ _ _ [Dm] I ache for the touch of [Gm] your lips, dear, But [C]
much more for the touch of [F]
your whips, dear. _
[A] You can raise welts [Dm]
like nobody else [A] As we dance [G] to the [Db] masochism [D] _ tango.
_ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ Let our [Dm] love be a flame, [Gm] not an ember, _ Say [C] it's me that you want to _

Blacken my eye, [Dm] set fire to [Gm] my tie [Am] As we [Dbm] dance [G] to the _ [Db] masochism [D] _ _ tango.

_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ At your _ [Gm]
command, _ [C] before you hear [F] I stand, My heart is in [Gm] my hand. _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] It's here that I [D] must be.
My heart [Gm] _ entreats, [C] just hear those [F] savage beats, [Dm] And go put [Gm] on your cleats [C] and come and [F] trample me.
[Dbm] _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ [Db] _ [A] _ [Dm] Your heart is hard as stone or [Gm] _
_ mahogany, That's [C] why I'm in such _ [F] exquisite agony.
_ _ My [A] soul is on fire, [D] it's aflame with [Gm] desire, _ [B] Which is [Em] why I [G] perspire when [D] we _ tango. _
You [Eb] caught [D] _ [Bb] my _ _ nose _ _ _ in your left _
[Eb] castanet, _ _ love.
_ I can feel [A] the pain yet, love, _ every time I [Dm] hear drums. _ _ _ _
And [Eb] I [Bb] envy the _ rose _ _ that you held in your [Eb] _ teeth, love.
_ _ With the [A] thorns underneath, love, _ _ sticking into your _
[Bb] gums. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Your [Dm]
eyes cast a spell that [Gm] _ _
bewitches.
_ [C] The last time I needed twenty [F] _ _
stitches, _ To [A] sew up the gash that [Dm] you made with your lash.
As we [Db] dance [G] to the _ [Db] masochism [D] tango.
_ [Gm] Bash in my brain [C]
and make me [F] scream with pain, [Dm] Then kick me [Gm] once again [Db] and say we'll [D] never part. _
I [Gm] know too well [C] I'm underneath [F] your spell, [Dm] So darling if [Gm] you smell [C] something burning it's [Dm] my heart. _ _ _
_ Take your cigarette from [Gm] its holder, _ _ [C] And burn your initials in [F] my shoulder. _
_ _ [A] Fracture my spine [Dm] and swear that [Gm] you're mine.
_ [Am] As we dance to the _ [Gb] _ [Fm] masochism [D] _ tango. _ _ _
