Chorus:
D#maj7
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
Cm7
But the very next day, you gave it away
Fm7
This year, to save me from tears
      A#         G#6      Gm7   G# G7
I'll give it to someone special
D#maj7
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
Cm7
But the very next day, you gave it away
Fm7
This year, to save me from tears
      A#        G#6       Gm7     C9
I'll give it to someone special (special)

F
Once bitten and twice shy
Dm7                      D7
I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye
Gm7
Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?
C7                               Am7 G#7 G7 C7 Fmaj7
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

Chorus:
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
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

"Merry Christmas" I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note sayin', "I love you", I meant it
("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:
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
(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
I'm giving it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
(The very next day, you gave it away)
This year, to save me from tears
I'm giving it to someone special
