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 apart
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 again
D* G* C* D D
baby I'll try to love again but I know
Chorus
The first cut is the deepest,
baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
'cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me she's worst
but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know
The first cut is the deepest,
baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
Verse 2
I still want you by my side
just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
cause I'm sure gonna give you a try
and if you want, I'll try to love again
baby, I'll try to love again, but I know
Chorus
The first cut is the deepest,
baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
'cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
when it comes to lovin' me she's worst
but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know
The first cut is the deepest,
baby I know
The first cut is the deepest

but when it comes to being loved she's first
that's how I know
The first cut is the deepest,
baby I know
The first cut is the deepest
