             D         Asus4       G    Asus4
I would have given you all of my heart
             D          Asus4        G   Asus4
but there's someone who's torn it apart
     D             Asus4       G    Asus4
and he's taking almost all I have
                      D         Asus4    G    Asus4
but if you want, I'll try to love again    baby 
     D            Asus4        G     Asus4
I'll try to love again but I know


D         Asus4         G       Asus4
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
D         Asus4           G     Asus4
The first cut is the deepest
               D               Asus4        G      Asus4
'cause when it comes to being lucky he's cursed
          D             Asus4         G     Asus4     A5
when it comes to lovin' me he's worst

        D        Asus4    G   Asus4
I still want you by my side
        D               Asus4              G    Asus4
just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
           D         Asus4        G     Asus4
cause I'm sure gonna give you a try
                      D            Asus4  G    Asus4
and if you want, I'll try to love again but baby, 
     D           Asus4           G   Asus4
I'll try to love again, but I know


D         Asus4         G       Asus4
The first cut is the deepest, baby I know
D         Asus4           G     Asus4
The first cut is the deepest
               D               Asus4        G      Asus4

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.
