[Verse 1]
C C/G Fmaj7
Called you on the phone today
C C/G Fmaj7
Just to ask you how you were
C C/G Fmaj7
All I did was speak normally
C C/G Fmaj7
Somehow I still struck a nerve
C C/G Fmaj7
You got me fucked up in the head, boy
C C/G Fmaj7
Never doubted myself so much
C C/G Fmaj7
Like am I pretty, am I fun, boy
C C/G Fmaj7
I hate that I give you power over that kind of stuff
[Chorus]
C Em Fmaj7 C
Cuz it's always one step forward and three steps back
C Em Fmaj7 C
I'm the love of your life until I make you mad
C Em Fmaj7 C
It's always one step forward and three steps back
C Em Fmaj7 C
Do you love me, want me, hate me, boy, I don't understand
Fmaj7 C
No, I don't understand
[Verse 2]
C C/G Fmaj7
Maybe in some masochistic way
C C/G Fmaj7
I kind of find it all exciting
C C/G Fmaj7
Likе, which lover will I get today
C C/G Fmaj7
Will you walk me to thе door or send me home crying
[Chorus]
C Em Fmaj7 C
It's one step forward and three steps back
C Em Fmaj7 C
I'm the love of your life until I make you mad
C Em Fmaj7 C
It's always one step forward and three steps back
C Em Fmaj7 C
Do you love me, want me, hate me, boy, I don't understand
[Bridge]
C Em Fmaj7 C
No, it's back and forth did I say something wrong
C Em Fmaj7 C
It's back and forth going over everything I said
C Em Fmaj7 C
It's back and forth did I do something wrong
C Em Fmaj7 C
It's back and forth maybe this is all your fault instead
[Outro]
C Em Fmaj7 C
It's one step forward and three steps back
C Em Fmaj7 C
And I'd leave you, but the rollercoaster's all I've ever had
C Em Fmaj7 C
Yeah, it's one step forward and three steps back
C Em Fmaj7 C
Do you love me, want me, hate me, boy, I don't understand
Fmaj7 C
No, I don't understand
