Intro]
C Am Dm G
[Chorus] (x2)
C
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
Am
But the very next day you gave it away
Dm
This year, to save me from tears
G
I'll give it to someone special
[Break]
C Am Dm G
[Verse 1]
C
Once bitten and twice shy
Am
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Dm
Tell me baby, do you recognise me?
G
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
[Verse 2]
C
(Merry Christmas) I wrapped it up and sent it
Am
With a note saying "I love you", I meant it
Dm
Now I know what a fool I've been
G
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again
[Chorus] (x2)
C
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
Am
But the very next day you gave it away
Dm
This year, to save me from tears
G
I'll give it to someone special
[Verse 3]
C
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
Am
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
Dm
My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
G
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
[Verse 4]
C
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
Am
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Dm
Now I've found a real love (now I've found)
G
You'll never fool me again
[Chorus] (x2)
C
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
Am
But the very next day you gave it away
Dm
This year, to save me from tears
G
I'll give it to someone special
[Outro]
C
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
Am
A man under cover but you tore him apart
Dm
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
G
I'll give it to someone special
