  			            C         G          F     G   
I would have given you all of my heart   
              C          G         F      G   
But there's someone who's torn it apart   
              C         G        F        G          
And she's taken allmost all that I've got  
            C            G    F   
But, if you want, I'll try to love again   
G          C             F           G   
Baby I'll try to love again but I know   


C          G          F       
The first cut is the deepest   
G          C             G           F     G   
Baby, I know, the first cut is the deepest   
               C              G            F     G   
'Cause When it comes to being lucky she's cursed   
        C              G         F       G   
When it comes to loving me she's worse  
           C               G            F     G  
But when it comes to being loved she's first  
                   C          G          F  
That's how I know, the first cut is the deepest  
G          C              G         F     G  
Baby, I know, the first cut is the deepest  
   
   
	  C      G       F     G   
I still want you by my side   
	      C              G          F     G   
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried   
	      C         G          F   G    
'Cause I'm sure gonna give you a try   
            C          G          F           
And, if you want, I'll try to love again   
G          C             F         G   
Baby I'll try to love again but I know   
   
**Chorus
