[Verse 1]
Bm                               A             F#m Bm A
There are many different people, living double li-ve-s.
D                      A                                Bm   G
One for the office and one that they take home to their wi-ve-s.
D                           A
He sits in the armchair and watches channel four,
Bm                                     G
but his brains not expected home for a hour or more.
           Bm                   A         F#m
He's still drifting to and fro, like a Yo Yo-o.

[Verse 2]
Bm                     A                    F#m Bm A
Wife's in the kitchen, fixing her old man's t-e-a.
D                               A                       Bm
She's thinking to herself, he's not the man who married me,
G
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
D                                     A
They used to laugh together, now he's never at home.
          Bm                                 G
Now she's fighting back the tears, she can't even laugh alone.
      Bm                        A         F#m
She's sitting by the telephone, like a Yo Yo-o.

[Chorus 1]
D            A  G                    A  D
You needed me,    when you would cry.
                    A  G                               A  D
Now, you're laughin',  I'm the last thing on your mind.
                 A  G              A  D
First you love me,  then you don't.
                A  G     F#m  Bm   A   F#m
I'm up and down,  like a Yo Yo.
D                           A  G               A  D
Argh, you thought you knew me     really well.
                   A  G                   A  D
With people like me,  you never can tell.
                  A  G                  A  D
You can only guess,  which way I'll go.
                 A  G
You got me sussed,  but you don't know.
      A                       G
I'm a Yo Yo.      Just like a Yo Yo on a string
      A                          G
I'm a Yo Yo.      Little child,  playin' with a Yo Yo.
 A             G   F#m
Yo Yo.
 Bm          A   F#m
Yo Yo.

[Verse 3]
Bm                        A                 F#m     Bm  A
Girl you had me danglin', like a Yo Yo on a str-in-g.
D                               A                   Bm
But with you at the controls, I could accomplish anything.
     G
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
D                        A
You were just playing, I was a liitle boy.
    Bm                          G
But when I grew into a man, you threw away your toy.
Bm                A                F#m
Like a Yo Yo.                   Yo Yo-o.

[Chorus 2]
D                    A  G                            A  D
You might be popular,  but it won't last for long.
                           A  G                          A  D
So don't give up the day job,  in case it all goes wrong.
                 A  G             A  D
Look at your ego,  watch it go.
D                    A  G         F#m  Bm  A
Up and down,               like a Yo Yo.
   F#m
Yo Yo.
D             A  G                    A  D
You needed me,   when you were cryin'.
                            A  G                               A  D
But now that you're laughing,  I'm the last thing on your mind.
                 A  G              A  D
First you love me,  then you don't.
D              A  G        F#m     Bm   A
I'm up and down,           like a Yo Yo.
   F#m
Yo Yo.

[Outro]
      D      A  G
I'm a Yo Yo (Yo Yo)
      D      A  G
I'm a Yo Yo (Yo Yo)
      D      A  G
I'm a Yo Yo (Yo Yo)
(fade)
