[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]

Last Christmas I gave you my heart
Am Am
But the very next day you gave it away (you gave it away)

This year to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special (special)

[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]

Last Christmas I gave you my heart

But the very next day you gave it away (you gave it away)

This year to save me from tears

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart (I gave you my heart)

A man under cover but you tore me apart

Maybe next year I'll give it to someone

I'll give it, I'll give it to someone special
[Outro]

Oh-oh-oh

Someone special

Someone special
