I'll give it to someone special

 [Verse 1] 

D 

 Once bitten and twice shy 

Bm [ Em ] 

 I keep my distance but you still catch my eye 

Em 

 Tell me baby do you recognize me? 

A 

 Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me [Verse 2] 

D  

"Merry Christmas!" I wrapped it up and sent it (whispered) 

Bm 

With a note saying: "I love you!", I meant it 

Em 

Now I know what a fool I've been 

A 

But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again 

 [Chorus] 

D 

Last Christmas I gave you my heart 

Bm 

But the very next day you gave it away 

Em 

This year to save me from tears  

A 

I'll give it to someone special [Chorus] 

D 

Last Christmas I gave you my heart 

Bm 

But the very next day you gave it away 

Em 

This year to save me from tears 

A 

I'll give it to someone special [Interlude]

D  

Crowded room, friends with tired eyes 

Bm  

Hiding from you and your soul of ice 

Em  

My God, I thought you were someone to rely on 

A 

Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on 

 [Verse 4]  

D 

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart  

Bm [ Em ] 

A man undercover but you tore him apart (To-o-ore me apa-art) 

Em Ooh-hoo  

A 

Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again [Chorus] 

D 

Last Christmas I gave you my heart 

Bm 

But the very next day you gave it away 

Em 

This year to save me from tears  

A 

I'll give it to someone special [Chorus]

Last Christmas I gave you my heart  

Bm 

But the very next day you gave it away

This year to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special [Verse 5] 

D 

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart 

Bm 

A man undercover but you tore him apart 

Em 

 Maybe ... next year ...(spoken) 

A [ D ] 

I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone ... special
