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.
