Chords

***Please Note: I have included the C/G chord for the verse parts to make the song more accurate to the studio recording. If you are a beginner and are finding the shape too difficult, feel free to omit this chord and just play C and Fmaj7. The G bass note makes very little difference and it will sound great regardless.*** ----------------------------- Chord Voicings To Use: ----------------------------- C - X32010 C/G - 332010 Fmaj7 - XX3210 Em - 022000

[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         Em        Fmaj7        C
Cuz it's always one step forward and three steps back

         C            Em          Fmaj7     C
I'm the love of your life until I make you mad

             C         Em        Fmaj7        C
It's always one step forward and three steps back

        C                 Em             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         Em        Fmaj7        C
It's one step forward and three steps back

         C            Em          Fmaj7    C
I'm the love of your life until I make you mad

             C         Em        Fmaj7        C
It's always one step forward and three steps back

        C                 Em             Fmaj7       C
Do you love me, want me, hate me, boy, I don't understand

[Bridge]

          C        Em        Fmaj7           C
No, it's back and forth did I say something wrong

      C         Em        Fmaj7       C
It's back and forth going over everything I said

      C        Em        Fmaj7           C
It's back and forth did I do something wrong

      C         Em        Fmaj7        C
It's back and forth maybe this is all your fault instead

[Outro]

      C          Em       Fmaj7        C
It's one step forward and three steps back

         C                    Em           Fmaj7         C
And I'd leave you, but the rollercoaster's all I've ever had

            C         Em        Fmaj7        C
Yeah, it's one step forward and three steps back

        C                 Em             Fmaj7       C
Do you love me, want me, hate me, boy, I don't understand

      Fmaj7       C
No, I don't understand
