Up on the roof

 
               
                            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 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  
        When I come home feelin' tired and beat  
               C                    D                     G  
        I go up where the air is fresh and sweet.  
                                             Em  
        I get away from the hustling crowd  
                   C                       D                        G  
        And all that rat-race noise down in the street.  
      
              C  
        On the roof?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)  
 
     Instrumental break:  verse melody  
      
                   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 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.
