Yo-Yo Chords by The Kinks

_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
There are many different people _ [C] _
living [Am] double _ lives.
_ [A] _
_ [C] _ [F] _ One for the office [C] and one that they take home [Dm] to their _ wives.
[Bb] _
_ _ [F] He sits in the [C] armchair, watches Channel 4, [Dm] but his brain's not expecting home [Bb] for an
hour or more.
He's [Dm] still drifting to and fro, [C] like a yo [Am]-yo. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] Wife is in the kitchen, [C] _ fixing [Am] her old man's face. _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Am] _ [F] She's thinking to herself, [C] he's not the man that married [Am] _ _
me.
[Bb] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[F] They used to love together, [C] now he's never at home.
[A] Now she's fighting back tears, [Bb] she can't even laugh alone.
[Dm] Just sitting by the [C] telephone, like a [A] yo-yo. _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] You needed [Bb] me when you were [F] crying.
Now you're laughing, [Bb] passing on your [F] mind.
But you love [Bb] me, then you [F] don't.
I'm up from [Bb] down, like a [Dm] yo-yo, _
_ [C] _ _ _ [Am] yo-yo. _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [F] You thought you knew [Bb] me really [F] well.
With people like me, [Bb] you never can tell.
[F] You can only guess [Bb] which way I [F] go.
You got me stuck, [Bb] but you don't [C] know I'm a yo-yo.
Just [Bb] like a yo-yo on a string, [C] I'm a yo-yo.
I've been [Am] a [Bb] child playing with a yo-yo, [C] yo-yo, _ [Bb] _ [A] yo [Dm]-yo. _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ Girl, you had me [C] dangling, like a yo-yo [Am] on a string.
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [F] But with you as the control, [B] I [C] could accomplish _ [D] anything.
[Am] Yeah, [Bb] yeah, yeah, yeah.
[F] We were just [Dm] playing, [C] I was a little boy.
[Dm] But when I grew into a man, [Bb] you threw away your time, like [Dm] a yo-yo, _ [C] _ _ [Am] yo _ [A]
-yo.
_ _ _ _ [F] _ You might feel poppy, [Bb] it won't last [F] long.
So don't give up the danger, [Bb] in case it all goes [F] wrong.
Look at your [Bb] ego, watch it [F] go.
I'm from [Bb] down, [A] like a yo [Dm]-yo.
_ [Am] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] You needed [Bb] me when you were [F] crying, _ _ _
_ [Bb] glancing on your [F] mind.
_ But you're [Bb] lovelier than you [F] know, I'm from down, [Bb] like a [Dm] yo _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [A]-yo. _ _ _
_ _ _ I'm [F] a yo-yo, yo [Bb] _ _ [F]-yo, like a yo-yo, _
[Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ yo-yo, _
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ like a yo-yo. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
