                 G              D            C     D
'Cause when it comes to being lucky, she's cursed,

But when it comes to being loved, she's first, that's  how I know

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…
