[Chorus]

D
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
Bm
But the very next day you gave it away
Em
This year to save me from tears
A
I'll give it to someone special

[Verse 1]

D
Once bitten and twice shy
Bm
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Em
Tell me baby do you recognize me?
A
Well it's been a year it doesn't surprise me

[Verse 2]

D
Merry Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it
Bm
With a note saying "I love you" I meant it
Em
Now I know what a fool I've been
A
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again

[Chorus]

D
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
Bm
But the very next day you gave it away
Em
This year to save me from tears
A
I'll give it to someone special

[Verse 3]

D
A crowded room friends with tired eyes
Bm
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
Em
My god I thought you were someone to rely on
A
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

[Verse 4]

D
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
Bm
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Em
Now I've found a real love (now I've found)
A
You'll never fool me again

[Chorus]

D
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
Bm
But the very next day you gave it away
Em
This year to save me from tears
A
I'll give it to someone special

[Verse 5]

D
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
Bm
A man undercover but you tore him apart
Em
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
A
I'll give it to someone special
