[Intro]
D Bm Em A
[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 
Once bitten and twice shy 
Bm 
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye 
Em 
Tell me baby, do you recognize me 
A 
Well, its been a year it doesn't surprise me  
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 kiss me now, I know you'll 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.   
 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 
A crowded room and friends with tired eyes. 
Bm 
I'm 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.  
   D 
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart  
  Bm 
A girl under cover but you tore her apart.  
 Em 
Maybe this year maybe this year  
       A 
I'll give it to someone special.
[Bridge]
     D              Bm 
And last Christmas 
     Em 
And this year 
           A 
won't be anything like anything like
[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. 
[Outro]
