Olivia Rodrigo – 1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back Chords

I called you on the phone today
Just to ask you how you were
All I did was speak normally
Somehow I still struck a nerve

You got me fucked up in the head, boy
Never doubted myself so much
Like, am I pretty or am I fun, boy?
I hate that I gave you power over that kind of stuff

Cuz it’s always one step forward and three steps back
I’m the love of your life until I make you mad
It’s always one step forward and three steps back
Do you love me, want me, hate me?
Boy, I don’t understand
No, I don’t understand

And maybe in some masochistic way
I kind of find it all exciting
Like, which lover will I get today?
Will you walk me to the door
Or send me home crying?

It’s always one step forward and three steps back
I’m the love of your life until I make you mad
It’s always one step forward and three steps back
Do you love me, want me, hate me?
Boy, I don’t understand

No, it’s back and forth
Did I say something wrong?
It’s back and forth
Going over everything I said
It’s back and forth
Did I say something wrong?
It’s back and forth
Maybe this is all your fault instead

It’s one step forward and three steps back
And I’d leave you but the rollercoasters all I ever had
Yeah, it’s one step forward and three steps back
Do you love me, want me, hate me?
Boy, I don’t understand
No, I don’t understand
