[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
You got me fcked up
         D        Gmaj7
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         F#
Cuz it's always one step forward
      Gmaj7        D
and three steps back
        D                 F#
Do you love me, want me, hate me,
         Gmaj7       D
boy, I don't understand
      Gmaj7       D
No, I don't understand

[Verse 2]
 D                Gmaj7
Maybe in some masochistic 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         F#
It's one step forward
      Gmaj7        D
and three steps back
         D            F#
I'm the love of your life
          Gmaj7    D
until I make you mad
                 D         F#
Cuz it's always one step forward
      Gmaj7        D
and three steps back
        D                 F#
Do you love me, want me, hate me,
          Gmaj7       D
boy, I don't understand
         D        F#
No it's back and forth did
   Gmaj7           D
 I say something wrong
      D         F#
It's back and forth going
  Gmaj7       D
over everything I said
         D        F#
No it's back and forth did
   Gmaj7           D
 I say something wrong
      D         F#
It's back and forth maybe
  Gmaj7        D
this is all your fault

              D          F#
Instead it's one step forward
      Gmaj7        D
and three steps back
         D
And I'd leave you, but the
    F#            Gmaj7         D
 rollercoaster's all I've ever had
                 D
Cuz it's always one step
   F#         Gmaj7        D
forward and three steps back
        D                 F#
