[Verse 1]
A                A
 Once bitten and twice shy
F#m7                    F#m7            [ B9sus4 ]
 I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
B9sus4    Bm7   B9sus4      Bm7
 Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?
E7sus4       E7              E7sus4     E7
  Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
 
[Verse 2]
Asus2    A              Asus2             A
  "Merry Christmas!", I wrapped it up and sent it
  (whispered)
F#1m1  F#m7          F#1m1           F#m7
With a note saying: "I love you!", I meant it
B9sus4 Bm7         B9sus4    Bm7
Now I  know what a fool I've been
           E7sus4    E7                E7sus4   E7
But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again

A
 Crowded room, friends with tired eyes
F#m7
 Hiding from you and your soul of ice
B7sus4    Bm7              B7sus4       Bm7
 My God I thought you were someone to rely on
E7sus4 E7            E7sus4      E7
Me?  I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
 
[Verse 4]
  Asus2     A            Asus2       A
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
  F#1m1     F#m7          F#1m1     F#m7 [ B9sus4 ]
A man under cover but you tore him apart
