I would have (G)giv en you all of my (F)heart,

And she’s (G)tak en just all that I (F)had, but (G)if you want, I’ll try to love a (G)gain.

Ba by, I’ll (F)try to love a gain but I (G)know:

The first (G)cut is the (G)deep est; ba by, I know the first (G)cut is the (G)deep est.

When it (C)comes to be in’ (G)luck y she’s (F)cursed;

when it (F)comes to lov in’ me she’s (G)worst.

I still (G)want en you by my (F)side,

just to (G)help me dry the tears that I’ve (F)cried.

And I’m (G)sure gon na give you a (F)try, and (G)if you want, I’ll

try to love a (G)gain.

Ba by, I’ll (F)try to love a gain but I (G)know:

The first (G)cut is the (G)deep est; ba by, I know the first (G)cut is the (G)deep est.

When it (C)comes to be in’ (G)luck y she’s (F)cursed;

when it (F)comes to lov in’ me she’s (G)worst.

I still (G)comes to lov in’ me she’s (F)worst.
