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
Verse 1:
D
Once bitten and twice shy
Bm
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
D
I wrapped it up and sent it
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
Verse 2:
D
A crowded room friends with tired eyes
Bm
I'm 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 3:
D
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
Bm
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Em
Now I've found a real love (now I've found)
A
You'll never fool me again
D
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
Bm
A man under cover buy you tore him apart
Em
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
A
I'll give it to someone special

|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
the song fades out with Riff 2 and Riff 3. Verse 1 and Verse 2 aren't played in
Jimmy Eat World's version but you could play them. there are like three guitars
in the song so you could really play either of the three riffs throughout the
song.
