[Opening]
[D] [D] [G]
I called you on the [D]phone [D]today[G]
Just to ask you how [D]you were[D] [G]
All I did was speak [D]normally[D] [G]
Somehow I still [D]struck a [D]nerve[G]
[verse 2]
You got me fucked up in the [D]head, [D]boy[G]
Never doubted [D]myself so [D]much[G]
Like, am I pretty or am I [D]fun, boy[D]?[G]
I hate that I gave you [D]power over [D]that kind of [G]stuff
[chorus]
Cuz it’s [D]always one step [F#m]forward and [G]three steps [D]back
I’m the [D]love of your [F#m]life until I [G]make you [D]mad
It’s always [D]one step [F#m]forward and [G]three steps [D]back
Do you [D]love me, want me, [F#m]hate me?
Boy, I [G]don’t under[D]stand
No, I [G]don’t under[D]stand
[verse 3]
[D]And maybe [D]in some maso[G]chistic way
[D]I kind of [D]find it all [G]exciting
Li[D]ke, which [D]lover will I [G]get today?
Will you [D]walk me to the [D]door
Or send [G]me home crying?
[chorus]
It’s always [D]one step [F#m]forward and [G]three steps [D]back
I’m the [D]love of your [F#m]life until I [G]make you [D]mad
It’s always [D]one step [F#m]forward and [G]three steps [D]back
Do you [D]love me, want me, [F#m]hate me?
Boy, I [G]don’t under[D]stand
[verse 4]
No, it’s [D]back and [F#m]forth
Did I [G]say something [D]wrong?
It’s [D]back and [F#m]forth
Going [G]over every[D]thing I said
It’s [D]back and [F#m]forth
Did I [G]say something [D]wrong?
It’s [D]back and [F#m]forth
Maybe [G]this is all [D]your fault instead
[Closing]
It’s [D]one step [F#m]forward and [G]three steps [D]back
And I’d [D]leave you but the [F#m]rollercoasters [G]all I ever [D]had
Yeah, it’s [D]one step [F#m]forward and [G]three steps [D]back
Do you [D]love me, want me, [F#m]hate me?
Boy, I [G]don’t under[D]stand
No, I [G]don’t under[D]stand
