Called you on the phone today

Just to ask you how you were

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
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

Do you love me, want me, hate me, boy, I don't understand
     C    E     Fmaj7      C
No, it's back and forth did I say something wrong
   C     E     Fmaj7    C
It's back and forth going over everything I said
   C    E     Fmaj7      C
It's back and forth did I do something wrong
   C     E     Fmaj7    C
It's back and forth maybe this is all your fault instead

And I'd leave you, but the rollercoaster's all I've ever had
