Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Chorus

 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.

 Once bitten and twice shy

 I keep my distance but you still catch my eye

 Tell me baby, do you recognize me

 Well, its been a year it doesn't surprise me

 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 kiss me now, I know you'll fool me again

Repeat Chorus twice

 A crowded room and friends with tired eyes.

 I'm hiding from you and your sold up eyes.

 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 girl under cover but you tore her apart.

 Maybe this year maybe this year

 I'll give it to someone special.

Repeat chorus twice

And last Christmas

[No words]

and this year

won't be anything like anything like

Repeat Chorus

End on D
