	        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  go up on the roof  
Interlude: G Em C D G G Em C D G Em  
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                  	  G    Em                C    D  G  
Up on the roof. Up on the roof. Up on the roof
