Standard (EADGBE)

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.

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 recognise me?

 Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me.

[keep playing these chords...]

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

(Oooh. Oooh Baby)

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

Oooh Oooh

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

This year to save me from tears

 I'll give it to someone special.
