♫ 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         E         Fmaj7        C
Cuz it's always one step forward and three steps back
         C            E           Fmaj7     C
I'm the love of your life until I make you mad
             C         E         Fmaj7        C
It's always one step forward and three steps back
        C                 E              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         E         Fmaj7        C
It's one step forward and three steps back
         C            E           Fmaj7    C
I'm the love of your life until I make you mad
             C         E         Fmaj7        C
It's always one step forward and three steps back
        C                 E              Fmaj7       C
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

♫ Outro:
      C          E        Fmaj7        C
It's one step forward and three steps back
         C                    E            Fmaj7         C
And I'd leave you, but the rollercoaster's all I've ever had
            C         E         Fmaj7        C
Yeah, it's one step forward and three steps back
        C                 E              Fmaj7       C
Do you love me, want me, hate me, boy, I don't understand
      Fmaj7       C
No, I don't understand
