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

Let our[Em]love be a flame, not an [Am]ember
Say it's [D7]me that you want to dis[G]member
[B7]Blacken my eye, set [Em]fire to my tie
As we [B7]dance to the masochism [Em]tango

At your com[Am]mand be[D7]fore you here I [G]stand
My [Em]heart is in my [Am]hand - yecch
It's [Ebdim]here that I must [Em]be[E7]
My heart en[Am]treats, just [D7]hear those savage [G]beats
And [Em]go put on your [Am]cleats and [D7]come and trample [G]me[B7]

Your [Em]heart is hard as stone or ma[Am]hogany
That's why [D7]I'm in such exquisite [G]agony
My [B7]soul is on fire, it's a[Em]flame with desire
Which is [B7]why I perspire when we [Em]tango

You caught my [C]nose[C7]
In your left cas[F]tanet, love
I can feel the pain [B7]yet, love
Ev'ry time I hear [Em]drums
And I envy the [C]rose[C7]
That you held in your [F]teeth, love
With the thorns under[B7]neath, love
Sticking into your [B7]gums[C7][B7][C7][B7][C7][B7][C7][B7]

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

Take [Em]your cigarette from its [Am]holder
And [D7]burn your initials in my [G]shoulder
[B7]Fracture my spine and [Em]swear that you're mine
As we [B7]dance to the maso-chism [Em]tango[B7][Em]
