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

[Chorus]
C
Last Christmas
  C
I gave you my heart
        Am                Am
But the very next day you gave it away
Dm
This year
   Dm
To save me from tears
     G                     G
I'll give it to someone special

[Verse 1]
C                C
 Once bitten and twice shy
Am
 I keep my distance
    Am                  Dm
But you still catch my eye

Tell me, baby
Dm
Do you recognize me?
G
 Well it's been a year
   G
It doesn't surprise me

[Verse 2]
C
 (Merry Christmas)
  C
I wrapped it up and sent it
Am                   Am
With a note saying, "I love you," I meant it
Dm                 Dm
Now I know what a fool I've been
           G
But if you kissed me now
             G
I know you'd fool me again

[Chorus]
C
Last Christmas
  C
I gave you my heart
        Am                Am
But the very next day you gave it away
Dm
This year
   Dm
To save me from tears
     G                     G
I'll give it to someone special

[Chorus]
C
Last Christmas
  C
I gave you my heart
        Am                Am
But the very next day you gave it away
Dm
This year
   Dm
To save me from tears
     G                     G
I'll give it to someone special

[Verse 3]
C
 A crowded room
C
 Friends with tired eyes
Am
 I'm hiding from you
Am
 And your soul of ice
Dm                        Dm
My God I thought you were someone to rely on
G                        G
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

[Verse 4]
  C                      C
A face on a lover with a fire in her heart
  Am                       Am         Dm  Dm
A girl under cover but you tore me apart, ooh-hoo
         G                                G
Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again

[Chorus]
C
Last Christmas
  C
I gave you my heart
        Am                Am
But the very next day you gave it away
Dm
This year
   Dm
To save me from tears
     G                     G
I'll give it to someone special

[Chorus]
C
Last Christmas
  C
I gave you my heart
        Am                Am
But the very next day you gave it away
Dm
This year
   Dm
To save me from tears
     G                     G
I'll give it to someone special

[Outro]
  C                      C
A face on a lover with a fire in her heart (I gave you my heart)
  Am                       Am         Dm
A girl under cover but you tore me apart
Dm              Dm
 Maybe next year
     G
I'll give it to someone
     G                     C
I'll give it to someone special
