Last Christmas I gave you my heart
        C#m
But the very next day you gave it away

This year to save me from tears
     B
I'll give it to someone special


[Chorus]

[Verse 1]
E
Once bitten and twice shy
C#m                                       A
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
              F#
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
B                          E           B
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me


[Verse 2]
E
Happy Christmas, I wrapped it up and sent it
C#m
With a note saying, "I love you", I meant it
F#
Now I know what a fool I've been
           B
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again


[Chorus]

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
        C#m
But the very next day you gave it away

This year to save me from tears
     B
I'll give it to someone special


[Chorus]

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
        C#m
But the very next day you gave it away

This year to save me from tears
     B
I'll give it to someone special

[Verse 3]
E
A crowded room of friends with tired eyes
C#m                                  A
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
                       F#
Oh yeah, I thought you were someone to rely on
    B
Me, I guess I was a shoulder to cry on


[Verse 4]
E
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
         C#m                                   F#
You're a man undercover but you're tearing me apart
              B
Ooh, now I've found a real love, You'll never fool me again


[Chorus]

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
        C#m
But the very next day you gave it away

This year to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
