Intro: Eb Db (x4) 

Eb                      Db                 Eb 
Woah, oh, ho (whoa, oh, ho) just like a yo-yo  
             Db               Eb            Db 
(just like a yo-yo) woah, oh, ho (whoa, oh, ho)

Just like a yo-yo (just like a yo-yo).. 

#1. 
           Eb             Db          Eb 
Well, it's hard for me to see how you got such a  
        Db 
hold on me. 
          Eb              Db            Eb 
First I'm up and then I'm down, then my heart goes  
           Db 
around and round. 

#2. 
Ab 
I'll bet you five dollars I'm the only fool who will  

climb up a string for you. 
    Eb            Ab                    Eb 
And need I say, I can't break away, you control  
              Ab 
every thing I do. 
  Cm           Fm               Ab 
I used to be a swinger, til you wrapped me round  

your finger.
