                            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)

		           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.
