[Chorus]
Bb                     F
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
        Am        F
But the very next day you gave it away
              Dm
This year, to save me from tears
F
I'll give it to someone special
Bb         F                  Dm
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
                  F
But the very next day you gave it away (You gave it away)
     Bb
This year, to save me from tears
                F
I'll give it to someone special (Special)

[Verse 1]
Bb    F
Once bitten and twice shy
F
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
F
Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?
F
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

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

[Chorus]
F
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
F
But the very next day you gave it away (You gave it away)
     Gm       F
This year, to save me from tears
F
I'll give it to someone special (Special)
F
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
        Am        F
But the very next day you gave it away
           Gm                Eb
This year, to save me from tears
     F
I'll give it to someone special

F Dm Dm Dm* Gm Dm C
F    Dm      Gm  Dm    C
Ooh  ooh ooh     Ooh   ooh

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

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

[Chorus]
Bb
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
F       Am        F       C
But the very next day you gave it away (You gave it away)
F
This year, to save me from tears
F
I'll give it to someone special (Special)
Bb
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
        Am                         F
But the very next day you gave it away
           Gm              F
This year, to save me from tears
Am
I'll give it to someone
F
I'll give it to someone special
