[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 [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 [interlude] D Bm Em A [verse 1] 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, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me [verse 2] 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 [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 [interlude] D Bm Em A [verse 3] 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 4] D a face on a lover with a fire in his heart Bm 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 A I'll give it to someone special [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 5] D a face on a lover with a fire in his heart Bm a man undercover but you tore him apart Em Maybe ... next year ... A I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone ... special [fade-out] D Bm Special! Someone ... Em A
