|G   |   |Em   |    |Am7  |   |D   |    |

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

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

[Chorus]
G
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
        Em
But the very next day you gave it away
Am7
This year to save me from tears
     D
I'll give it to someone special

[Chorus]
G
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
        Em
But the very next day you gave it away
Am7
This year to save me from tears
     D
I'll give it to someone special

[Interlude]
|G   |   |Em   |    |Am7  |   |D   |    |

[Verse 3]
G
 Crowded room, friends with tired eyes
Em
 I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
Am
 My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
 D
 Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

[Verse 4]
   G
 A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
   Em
 A man undercover but you tore him apart
 Am
    Ooh-hoo..
          D
 Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again

[Chorus]
G
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
        Em
But the very next day you gave it away
Am7
This year to save me from tears
     D
I'll give it to someone special

[Chorus]
G
Last Christmas I gave you my heart
        Em
But the very next day you gave it away
Am7
This year to save me from tears
     D
I'll give it to someone special

[Interlude]
|G   |   |Em   |    |Am7  |   |D   |    |

[Verse 5]
   G
 A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
   Em
 A man undercover but you tore him apart
 Am
  Oooh-oo, maybe next year
      D
 I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special (fade out with verse 5)
