G                          Em 
                When this old world starts getting me down 
                    C                   D              G 
                And people are just too much for me to face 
                                         Em 
                I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs 
                    C                 D                G 
                And all my cares just drift right into space 
         
                C 
                On the roof it's peaceful as can be 
                    G                 Em               C   D 
                And there the world below don't bother me 
         
                   G                        Em 
                So when I come home feelin' tired and beat 
                     C               D                G 
                I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet 
                                       Em 
                I'll get away from the hustling crowd 
                    C                 D                 G 
                And all that rat-race noise down in the street 
         
                C 
                On the roof that's the only place I know 
                      G                Em              C   D 
                Where you just have to wish to make it so 
                (Lets go up on the roof) 
         
                Lead 
         
                C 
                At night the stars put on a show for free 
                    G               Em                C   D 
                And darling you can share it all with me 
         
                I keep on telling you that  
                G                      Em 
                Right smack dab in the middle of town  
                     C           D                   G 
                I've found a paradise that's trouble proof 
                       G                     Em 
                And if this old world starts getting you down 
                        C               D             G     Em 
                There's room enough for two up on the roof 
                          C    D 
                Up on the roof 
                          G    Em 
                Up on the roof 
                          C    D  G 
                Up on the roof
