I [Dm] ache for the touch of your [Gm] lips, dear
But much [C7] more for the touch of your [F] whips, dear
[A7] You can raise welts like [Dm] nobody [Gm] else
As we [A7] dance to the masochism [Dm] tango
{c: }
Let our[Dm] love be a flame, not an [Gm] ember
Say it's [C7] me that you want to dis[F] member
[A7] Blacken my eye, set [Dm] fire to my [Gm] tie
As we [A7] dance to the masochism [Dm] tango
{c: }
At your com[Gm]mand be[C7]fore you here I [F] stand
My [Dm] heart is in my [Gm] hand - yecch
It's [Dbdim] here that I must [D] be[D7-alt]
My heart en[Gm] treats, just [C7] hear those savage [F] beats
And [Dm] go put on your [Gm] cleats and [C7] come and trample [F] me[A7]
{c: }
Your [Dm] heart is hard as stone or ma[Gm]hogany
That's why [C7] I'm in such exquisite [F] agony
My [A7] soul is on fire, it's a[Dm] flame with [Gm] desire
Which is [A7] why I perspire when we [Dm] tango
{c: }
You caught my [Bb] nose[Bb7]
In your left cas[D#] tanet, love
I can feel the pain [A7] yet, love
Ev'ry time I hear [Dm] drums
And I envy the [Bb] rose [Bb7]
That you held in your [D#] teeth, love
With the thorns under[A7]neath, love
Sticking into your [Dm] gums [A7] [C7] [A7] [C7] [A7] [C7] [A7]
{c: }
Your [Dm] eyes cast a spell that be[Gm]witches
The [C7] last time I needed twenty [F] stitches
To [A7] sew up the gash that you [Dm] made with your [Gm] lash
As we [A7] danced to the masochism [Dm] tango
Bash in my [Gm] brain and [C7] make me scream with [F] pain
Then [Dm] kick me once a[Gm]gain and [Dbdim] say we'll never [D] part[D7-alt]
I know too [Gm] well I'm [C7] underneath your [F] spell
So, [Dm] Darling, if you [Gm] smell something [C7] burning, it's my [F] heart[A7]
Hic! Excuse me
{c: }
Take [Dm] your cigarette from its [Gm] holder
And [C7] burn your initials in my [F] shoulder
[A7] Fracture my spine and [Dm] swear that you're [Gm] mine
As we [A7] dance to the maso-chism [Dm] tango[A7] [Dm]
