[Intro]
| G D | C D | G D |

[Verse 1]
C
D             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 apart
            G           D             C
And she's takin' almost all that I've got
    D                G             D
But if you want, I'll try to love again
C  D           G          C         D
 Baby, I'll try to love again but I know

[Chorus]
G          D             C       D
 The first cut is the deepest, baby,
      G
I know
          D             C   D
The first cut is the deepest
               G              D
'Cause when it comes to bein' lucky,
      C     D
she's cursed
             G          C         D    C
When it comes to lovin' me, she's worst
            G              D
But when it comes to bein' loved,
      C
she's first
       D
That's how I know
G          D             C       D
 The first cut is the deepest, baby,

[Verse 2]

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
And if you want, I'll try to love again
C    D             G         C
 But baby, I'll try to love again,
      D
