Craig David

    Em          Am
Hey-yeah, yeah, yeah

Am
Check it
[Verse 1]
    Em                                        Am
You know, I'm the kinda guy that does it 9 to 5

             Em                                  Am
Workin' real hard, 'cause it's the way I live my life

     Em                               Am
Back home, just me and you, girl, all alone

            Em
With no one interruptin'

               Am
Switch off the phone

            Em            Am
But I could be that other guy

               Em                                     Am
Who comes home late night after night, then tells you lies

                     Em                       Am
So, why you trippin' out on me, girl, all the time?

           Em                              Am
When every day, it's only you that's on my mind, oh
[Chorus]
      Am           Em
Every time we take one step forward

         Am
You take two steps back

      Em                         Am
Every time it's right, you bring left back, oh

Em
Girl, you really ought to think about it

Am
'Cause there's really no doubt about it (What?)

Em                                   Am
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth

                   Em
Every time we take one step forward

         Am
You take two steps back

      Em                         Am
Every time it's right, you bring left back, oh

Em
Girl, you really ought to think about it (Oh)

Am
'Cause there's really no doubt about it (Oh-oh)

Em                                   Am
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth
[Verse 2]
                     Em                              Am
You know, you're the kinda girl that doesn't need to front

        Em                              Am
Keep it real, let me know just what you want

    Em                                 Am
Sometimes, you just don't know when to stop

                       Em
You worry so much over nothing

                               Am
You're just losing what you've got

               Em                   Am
Now, can't you see there's no other girl?

                   Em                      Am
I think you're the most beautiful woman in this world, yeah

Em                         Am
But you say I don't appreciate you

                        Em
And I don't know how to treat you

                     Am
We don't do the same things we did no more
[Chorus]
      Am           Em
Every time we take one step forward

         Am
You take two steps back

      Em                         Am
Every time it's right, you bring left back, oh

Em
Girl, you really ought to think about it

Am
'Cause there's really no doubt about it (What?)

Em                                   Am
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth

                   Em
Every time we take one step forward

         Am
You take two steps back

      Em                         Am
Every time it's right, you bring left back, oh

Em
Girl, you really ought to think about it (Oh)

Am
'Cause there's really no doubt about it (Oh-oh)

Em                                   Am
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth
[Bridge]
         B7
Remember, it wasn't that long ago

B7
You told me that you love me so

Em
Don't forget all the nights we shared

Em
When you told me, girl, just how much you cared

        B7
Remember that you could be led astray

B7
But that's the way players play

Em
I'm not that kinda man

    D                            Am
Why can't you understand, 'cause I

Am
Want you to trust in me?

Am
Baby girl, can't you see

Em
You're only gonna mess things up?

Em
You've done enough, why can't you stop this?

Am
You're gonna lose what's good for you

Am
And it's the last thing you wanna do

B7
Won't find another like me, oh
[Chorus]
      Am           Em
Every time we take one step forward

         Am
You take two steps back

      Em                         Am
Every time it's right, you bring left back, oh

Em
Girl, you really ought to think about it

Am
'Cause there's really no doubt about it (What?)

Em                                   Am
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth

                   Em
Every time we take one step forward

         Am
You take two steps back

      Em                         Am
Every time it's right, you bring left back, oh

Em
Girl, you really ought to think about it (Oh)

Am
'Cause there's really no doubt about it (Oh-oh)

Em                                   Am
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth

                   Em
Every time we take one step forward (Every time)

         Am
You take two steps back (It never fails, baby)

      Em                         Am
Every time it's right, you bring left back, oh (Oh, oh-oh)

Em
Girl, you really ought to think about it

Am
'Cause there's really no doubt about it

Em                                   Am                   Em  Am
You know I've been there for you and that's the truth (No)
[Outro]

               Am  Em
Every evening, mm
