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

I'll give it to someone special

[Verse 1]
D                        
Once bitten and twice shy
Bm                                        [ Em ]
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                                             
"Happy Christmas!" I wrapped it up and sent it
(whispered)
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

[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                                    
Crowded room, friends with tired eyes
Bm                                  
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                                    [ Em ]
A man undercover but you tore him apart
(To-o-ore   me  apa-art)
Em     
Ooh-hoo
         A                                            
Now I've found a real love, 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

[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 ...
(spoken)
A                                              [ D ]
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone ... special
