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?

Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me
D
Happy Christmas, 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

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes
Bm
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice

My God, I thought you were someone to rely on
A
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on
D
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
Bm
A man under cover, but you tore me apart
Em A
Oh, oh now I've found a real love
You'll never fool me again
[Chorus]

But the very next day you gave it away
