[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

'cause when it comes to being lucky she's cursed
         G              C        D     C
when it comes to lovin' me she's worst
            G              D           C
but when it comes to being loved she's first
       D
that's how I know

cause I'm sure gonna give you a try
     D                G            D     C
