GEm When this old world starts getting me down
CDG And people are just too much for me to face
Em I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs
CDG And all my cares just drift right into space
C On the roof it's peaceful as can be
GEmCD And there the world below don't bother me
GEm So when I come home feelin' tired and beat
CDG I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
Em I'll get away from the hustling crowd
CDG And all that rat-race noise down in the street
C On the roof that's the only place I know
GEmCD 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
GEmCD And darling you can share it all with me
 I keep on telling you that
GEm Right smack dab in the middle of town
CDG I've found a paradise that's trouble proof
GEm And if this old world starts getting you down
CDGEm There's room enough for two up on the roof
CD Up on the roof
GEm Up on the roof
CDG
