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.
