Chords & Lyrics

[Intro]

C Am Dm G

[Chorus] (x2)

C

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

Am

But the very next day you gave it away

Dm

This year, to save me from tears

G

I’ll give it to someone special

Break

C Am Dm G

Verse 1

C

Once bitten and twice shy

Am

I keep my distance but you still catch my eye

Dm

Tell me baby, do you recognise me?

G

Well, it’s been a year, it doesn’t surprise me

Verse 2

C

(Merry Christmas) I wrapped it up and sent it

Am

With a note saying “I love you”, I meant it

Dm

Now I know what a fool I’ve been

G

But if you kissed me now I know you’d fool me again

Chorus (x2)

C

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

Am

But the very next day you gave it away

Dm

This year, to save me from tears

G

I’ll give it to someone special

Verse 3

C

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes

Am

I’m hiding from you and your soul of ice

Dm

My God, I thought you were someone to rely on

G

Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

Verse 4

C

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

Am

A man under cover but you tore me apart

Dm

Now I’ve found a real love (now I’ve found)

G

You’ll never fool me again

Chorus (x2)

C

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

Am

But the very next day you gave it away

Dm

This year, to save me from tears

G

I’ll give it to someone special

Outro

C

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

Am

A man under cover but you tore him apart

Dm

Maybe next year I’ll give it to someone

G

I’ll give it to someone special
