 I would have given  you all  of my heart
 but there's someone  who's  torn it apart
 and he's  taking almost  all I have
 but if you want, I'll try  to love  again  baby
 I'll try  to love again  but I know
The  first cut  is the deepest,  baby  I know
The  first cut  is the deepest
 'cause when it comes  to being lucky  he's cursed
 when it comes  to lovin' me  he's worst
 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  but  baby,
 I'll try  to love again,  but I know
The  first cut  is the deepest,  baby  I know
The  first cut  is the deepest
 'cause when it comes  to being lucky  he's cursed
 when it comes  to lovin' me  he's worst
 Solo bit comes in- the chords are just the same as the chorus
 There is something else going on with an electric guitar but someone else can
 work that out.( I dont do solos)

 I still want  you by  my side

 when it comes  to lovin' me  he's worst
The  first cut  is the deepest,  baby  I know
The  first cut  is the deepest  Try  to love again
 Ok so, the more observant of you will know that its the same all the way through
 save the odd A5. I don't now if thats how its played on the song but it sounds like it.
