[Intro]

 D D/A Gmaj7

[Verse 1]
                    D         Gmaj7
Called you on the phone today
                 D           Gmaj7
Just to ask you how you were
                     D       Gmaj7
All I did was speak normally
                           D    Gmaj7
Somehow I still struck a nerve
                             D        Gmaj7
You got me f*cked up in the head, boy
        D                    Gmaj7
Never doubted myself so much
                        D       Gmaj7
I got my pretty and my fun boy
                        D   
I hate that I give you power
                   Gmaj7
over that kind of stuff
 
[Chorus]
                 D         Gb   
Cuz it's always one step forward 
    Gmaj7         D
and three steps back
        D                
Do you love me, want me,
 Gb              Gmaj7       D
hate me, boy, I don't understand
      Gmaj7       D
No, I don't understand
 

[Verse 2]

 D                Gmaj7
Maybe in some m*sochistic way
D                      Gmaj7
I kind of find it all exciting
 D                      Gmaj7  D
Likе, which lover will I get today
 D                           
Will you walk me to thе door 
           Gmaj7
or send me home crying
 

[Chorus]
      D         Gb         Gmaj7        D
It's one step forward and three steps back
         D            Gb     
I'm the love of your life until 
   Gmaj7    D
I make you mad
                 D         Gb    
Cuz it's always one step forward
     Gmaj7        D
and three steps back
        D                 Gb         
Do you love me, want me, hate me, boy,
   Gmaj7       D
I don't understand
         D        Gb     
No it's back and forth did
  Gmaj7           D
I say something wrong
      D         Gb         Gmaj7 
It's back and forth going over
        D
everything I said
         D        Gb      
No it's back and forth did 
  Gmaj7           D
I say something wrong
      D         Gb         Gmaj7 
It's back and forth maybe this is
      D
all your fault
 
[Outro]
              D          Gb   
Instead it's one step forward 
     Gmaj7        D
and three steps back
         D                    Gb            
And I'd leave you, but the rollercoaster's 
Gmaj7          D 
all I've ever had
                 D         Gb    
Cuz it's always one step forward
     Gmaj7        D
and three steps back
        D                 Gb          
Do you love me, want me, hate me, boy,
   Gmaj7       D
I don't understand
      Gmaj7       D
No, I don't understand
