Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I'll give it to someone special.
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I'll give it to someone special.
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I'll give it to someone special.
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I'll give it to someone special.
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Now I've found the real love, now I found
You'll never fool me again!
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man undercover but you tore me apart
Now I've found the real love, now I found
You'll never fool me again!

This year to save me the tears
I'll give it to someone special.
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away

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.
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day you gave it away
This year to save me the tears
I'll give it to someone special.
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
