Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away

This year to save me from tears

     A

I'll give it to someone special

[Verse 1]

D

 Once bitten and twice shy

Hm                                        [ 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

 "Merry Christmas!" I wrapped it up and sent it

 (whispered)

Hm

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

        Hm

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

        Hm

But the very next day you gave it away

[Verse 3]

D

 Crowded room, friends with tired eyes

Hm

 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

  Hm                                    [ 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

        Hm

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

        Hm

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

  Hm

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
