 …The first cut is the deepest, 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 loving me, she's worsed,
              G              D            C           Dsus4
But when it comes to being loved, she's first, that's  how I know
G            D            C     Dsus4     G              D           C
  The first cut is the deepest,  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 cried,
          G          D         C
And 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   Dsus4   D  Dsus4 D  Dsus2 D
Baby, I'll try to love a-gain, but I know…

 …The first cut is the deepest, 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 loving me, she's worsed,
              G              D            C           Dsus4
But when it comes to being loved, she's first, that's  how I know
G            D            C     Dsus4     G              D           C
  The first cut is the deepest,  baby, I know the first cut is the deepest
