Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Chorus
(pick strings)
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
(same chords all the way through)
1,2,3,4
Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby do you recognise me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me (repeat all the way)
(Merry Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again
(, , , )
Chorus x2
A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice
My God I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
(play Am in this gap)
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again
Chorus x2
(Instrumenmtal: { + changes})
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
