Em Am I ache for the touch of your lips, dear D7 G But much more for the touch of your whips, dear B7 Em Am You can raise welts like nobody else B7 Em As we dance to the masochism tango Em Am Let our love be a flame, not an ember D7 G Say it's me that you want to dismember B7 Em Am Blacken my eye, set fire to my tie B7 Em As we dance to the masochism tango Am D7 G At your command before you here I stand Em Am My heart is in my hand Ebdim7 E E7 It's here that I must be Am D7 G My heart entreats, just hear those savage beats Em Am D7 G B7 And go put on your cleats and come and trample me Em Am Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany D7 G Which is why I'm in such exquisite agony B7 Em Am My soul is on fire, it's aflame with desire B7 Em Which is why I perspire when we tango C C7 You caught my nose F In your left castanet, love B7 I can feel the pain yet, love Em Ev'ry time I hear drums C C7 And I envy the rose F That you held in your teeth, love B7 With the thorns underneath, love Em B7 Sticking into your gums Em Am Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches D7 G The last time I needed twenty stitches B7 Em Am To sew up the gash that you made with your lash B7 Em As we danced to the masochism tango Am D7 G Bash in my brain and make me scream with pain Em Am Ebdim7 E E7 Then kick me once again and say we'll never part Am D7 G I know too well I'm underneath your spell Em Am D7 G B7 So, Darling, if you smell something burning, it's my heart Em Am Take your cigarette from its holder D7 G And burn your initials in my shoulder B7 Em Am Fracture my spine and swear that you're mine B7 Em As we dance to the masochism tango
