G
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart 
Em
But the very next day, You gave it away 
Am
This year, to save me from tears 
D
I'll give it to someone special 

(same chords all the way through)
1,2,3,4

G
Once bitten and twice shy
Em
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye 
Am
Tell me baby do you recognise me? 
D
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me          (repeat all the way)

(Merry Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it 
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it 
Now I know what a fool I've been 
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again 
           (Dsus4,    D,               Dsus2,     D)
Chorus X2

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes 
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice 
My God I thought you were someone to rely on 
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on 

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart 
A man undercover but you tore me apart 
(play Am in this gap)
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
