[Chorus]
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      
Once bitten and twice shy
Am
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Dm
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
G
Well
It's been a year
It doesn't surprise me
C
"merry Christmas"
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
I know you'd fool me again

[Chorus]
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
Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

   C
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
   Am                                 Dm...
A man under cover but you tore me apart
          G
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

[Chorus: x2]

   C  
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
   Am
A man under cover buy you tore him apart
Dm                    G
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
                           C       Am     Dm    G....
I'll give it to someone special.
