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. 


[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, its been a year it doesn't surprise me

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 kiss me now, I know you'll 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. 

 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 2]
D
A crowded room and friends with tired eyes.
Bm
I'm 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.

   D
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart 
  Bm
A girl under cover but you tore her apart. 
 Em
Maybe this year maybe this year 
       A
I'll give it to someone special.

  
[Chorus] 
         D
Because 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. 

 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. 


[Bridge]
     D              Bm
And last Christmas
     Em
And this year
           A
won't be anything like anything like


[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.
