Last Christmas (1984) (video) (midi)

C

Last Christmas I gave you my heart,

Am

but the very next day you gave it away,

Dm

this year to save me from tears,

G

I'll give it to someone special. (2x)

C ^

1. Once bitten and twice shy,

Am ^ ^

I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye,

Dm \

Tell me baby, do you recognize me?

G \ \

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

C

(Happy Christmas) I wrapped it up and sent it,

Am \ \

with a note saying, "I love you" , I meant it,

Dm

now I know what a fool I've been,

G \ \

but-if-you-kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again.

+ CHORUS

C ^ ^

2. A crowded room, friends with tired eyes,

Am ^

I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice.

Dm \ \

My God I thought you were someone to rely on.

G

Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on.

C \ \

A face on a lover with a fire-in-his-heart

Am Dm

a man under cover but you tore - me - ap..art, uhu

G \

Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again.

+ CHORUS

C

3. A face on a lover with a fire in his heart,

Am

a man under cover but you tore him apart

Dm G

maybe next year, I'll give it to someone,

C

I'll give it to someone special.
