G Last Christmas, I gave you my heart Em But the very next day, You gave it away Am This year, to save me from tears D I'll give it to someone special G Once bitten and twice shy Em I keep my distance but you still catch my eye Am Tell me baby do you recognise me? D Well it's 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 kissed me now I know you'd fool me again (Dsus4 D, Dsus2, D) 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 (Instrumental: G Em Am D Dsus4 + Dsus2 A face on a lover with a fire in his heart A man undercover but you tore me apart Chorus X2
