[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
[Verse1]
[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
[Verse2]
[D]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
[Verse3]
[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
[Verse4]
[D]A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
[Bm]A man under cover 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
[Verse5]
[D]A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
[Bm]A man under cover buy you tore him apart
[Em]Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
[A]I'll give it to someone special
