[Verse 1]
             G*        D*         C*   D*
I would have given you all of my heart
            G*            C*          D*   C*
but there's someone who's torn it a - part
          G*           D*            C*
and she's taken almost all that I've got
     D*              G*               D*    C*
but if you want, I'll try to love a - gain
D*         G*             C*          D     D
baby I'll try to love a - gain but I know


[Chorus]

G            D          C
   The first cut is the deepest,
D       G
baby I know
     D                C     D
The first cut is the deepest
               G              D          C       D
'cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
         G              C        D     C
when it comes to lovin' me she's worst
            G              D           C
but when it comes to being loved she's first
       D
that's how I know
G            D           C
   The first cut is the deepest,
D       G
baby I know

The first cut is the deepest


[Verse 2]

        G         D     C   D
I still want you by my side
        G               C               D      C
just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
          G               D     C
cause I'm sure gonna give you a try
     D                G               D     C
and if you want, I'll try to love a - gain
D           G           C            D    D
baby, I'll try to love again, but I know

D       G
baby I know

The first cut is the deepest
               G              D          C       D
'cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
         G              C        D     C
when it comes to lovin' me she's worst
