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]

[Verse]
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]
D 
 "Merry Christmas!" 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

[Verse]
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]
  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

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

 Maybe ... next year ... 
     A                                              [ D ] 
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone ... special
