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
C
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (Gave you my heart)
        Am
But the very next day, you gave it away (You gave it away)
Dm
This year, to save me from tears (Save me from tears)
     G
I'll give it to someone special (Special)


[Verse 1]
C
 Once bitten and twice shy
Am                                           Dm
  I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye

Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?
G
  God, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me


[Verse 2]
C
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, 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, you'd fool me again


[Chorus]
C
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (Gave you my heart)
        Am
But the very next day, you gave it away (You gave it away)
Dm
This year, to save me from tears (Save me from tears)
     G
I'll give it to someone special


[Post-Chorus]
    C       Am
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh
               Dm       G
Oh, give it to someone, oh, yeah


[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
  I guess I was a shoulder to cry on


[Verse 4]
C
  A face of a lover with a fire in his heart
  Am                               Dm
A man under cover but you tore me apart

Yeah
         G
Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again


[Chorus]
C
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (Gave you my heart)
        Am
But the very next day, you gave it away (You gave it away)
Dm
This year, to save me from tears (Save me from tears)
     G
I'll give it to someone special (I'll give it to someone)
C
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart (Gave you my heart)
        Am
But the very next day, you gave it away (You gave it away)
Dm
This year, to save me from tears (Save me from tears)
     G
I'll give it to someone special (Special)


[Outro]
  C
A face of a lover with a fire in his heart (Fire in his heart)
  Am
A man under cover but you tore him apart (Apart)
Dm
  Maybe next year
     G                                             C    Am Dm G
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special
