Intro: D Bm Em A   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. 


 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


Repeat Chorus twice


 D
A crowded room and friends with tired eyes.
 Bm
I'm hiding from you and your sold up eyes. 
 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.
 

Repeat chorus twice


D
And last Christmas

Bm
[No words]

Em
and this year

A
won't be anything like anything like


Repeat Chorus

End on D
