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

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

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

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

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

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

Oh-oh     Oh-oh    baby

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

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

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

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

[Outro]
  C                      C
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you my heart)
  Am                      Am
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Dm                    Dm
 Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
     G                          G
I'll give it, I'll give it to someone special

[Outro]
C      C
Special
Am  Am
Ooooh
      Dm
Oh-oh-oh
Dm
Someone special
G              G
Someone special
