F# D#m
When this old world starts getting me down
B C# F#
And people are just too much for me to face
D#m
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
B C# F#
And all my cares just drift right into space
B
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
F# D#m B C#
And there the world below don't bother me
F# D#m
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
B C# F#
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)
D#m
I get away from the hustling crowd
B C# F#
And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof)
B
On the roof, the only place I know
F# D#m B C#
Where you just have to wish to make it so
F# D#m
Right smack dab in the middle of town
B C# F#
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof
D#m
And if this world starts getting you down
B C#
There's room enough for two
F# D#m
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
B C#
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
B C#
Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof)
B C#
Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof)
