Em Em                        Am Am
I ache for the touch of your lips, dear
D7 D7 G G
But much more for the touch of your whips, dear
B7 B7 Em Em
You can raise welts like nobody else
B7 B7 Em Em
As we dance to the masochism tango

Em Em Am Am
Let our love be a flame, not an ember
D7 D7 G G
Say it's me that you want to dismember
B7 B7 Em Em
Blacken my eye, set fire to my tie
B7 B7 Em Em
As we dance to the masochism tango
Am Am D7 D7 G G
At your command before you here I stand
Em Em Am Am
My heart is in my hand - yecch
Ebdim Ebdim Em Em E7 E7
It's here that I must be
Am Am D7 D7 G G
My heart entreats, just hear those savage beats
Em Em Am Am D7 D7 G G B7 B7
And go put on your cleats and come and trample me
Em Em Am Am
Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany
D7 D7 G G
That's why I'm in such exquisite agony
B7 B7 Em Em
My soul is on fire, it's aflame with desire
B7 B7 Em Em
Which is why I perspire when we tango
C C C7 C7
You caught my nose
F F
In your left castanet, love
B7 B7
I can feel the pain yet, love
Em Em
Ev'ry time I hear drums

C C C7 C7
And I envy the rose
F F
That you held in your teeth, love
B7 B7
With the thorns underneath, love
B7 B7
Sticking into your gums

C7 C7 B7 B7 C7 C7 B7 B7 C7 C7 B7 B7 C7 C7 B7 B7
Em Em Am Am
Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches
D7 D7 G G
The last time I needed twenty stitches
B7 B7 Em Em
To sew up the gash that you made with your lash
B7 B7 Em Em
As we danced to the masochism tango
Am Am D7 D7 G G
Bash in my brain and make me scream with pain
Em Em Am Am Ebdim Ebdim Em Em E7 E7
Then kick me once again and say we'll never part
Am Am D7 D7 G G
I know too well I'm underneath your spell
Em Em Am Am D7 D7 G G B7 B7
So, Darling, if you smell something burning, it's my heart

Hic! Excuse me
Em Em Am Am
Take your cigarette from its holder
D7 D7 G G
And burn your initials in my shoulder
B7 B7 Em Em
Fracture my spine and swear that you're mine
B7 B7 Em Em
As we dance to the masochism tango

B7 B7 Em Em
