[Intro]

Am C D Em x2

[Verse 1]
  Am           C        D         Em
Baby, let me make you a statue
 Am            C         D          Em
To stand outside the council house
 Am            C             D        Em
To stand as a reminder of what you are
 Am        C           D         Em
And what you want to be

[Pre-Chorus]
G                   D
I want to live with you
                   Am
Want to sleep with you
                             E
In a house, in a peaceful world
Am
They want to take you
Am/G
They want to break you
Am/F#                    C F G
Don't let them make you unhappy

[Chorus 1]
A            C#m          Bm
You are the icing on the cake
E         E/F#       A
The party on the street
    C#m            Bm
The love you cannot fake
E           E/F#       Am
The truth you cannot cheat

Am C D Em
cheat
Am C D Em

[Verse 2]
Am            C              D     Em
You were left on the doorstep
Am           C        D            Em
Of the Social Security
Am           C        D            Em
You were hoping for a future as someone
Am           C        D            Em
Not just a leisure refugee

Am           C        D              Em
I always saw you as a fighter and a winner
Am           C        D              Em
Not content to only write your name
Am           C        D              Em
Their right way is the wrong way for what you are
Am           C        D              Em
And what you were born to be

[Pre-Chorus 2]
G                   D
Born to be young and free
                   Am
To be young and wise
                              E
Not to listen to all their lies
Am
Don't let them make you
Am/G
Don't let them break you
Am/F#                    C F  G
Don't let them make you unhappy

[Chorus 2]
A            C#m          Bm
You are the icing on the cake
E         E/F#       A
The party on the street
           C#m       Bm
The love you cannot fake
E           E/F#       Am
The truth you cannot cheat

Am C D Em

[Pre-Chorus 3]
G                        D
Here we come waltzing home
                   Am
By the moon so bright
                              E
By the sea, by the harbour wall
Am
They want to take you
Am/G
They want to break you
Am/F#                    C F  G
Shape you and make you unhappy

[Chorus 3]

The party on the street
A           C#m       Bm
The love you cannot fake
E           E/F#       A
The truth you cannot cheat

A     C#m          Bm
The icing on the cake
E         E/F#       A
The party on the street
           C#m       Bm
The love you cannot fake
E           E/F#       E
The truth you cannot cheat
