Up on the roof
! Up on the roof !

1. When this old world starts getting me down,
C D G
and
people are just too much for me to face (up on the roof),
G Em
I'll climb way up to the top
of the stairs,
C
D G
and
all my cares just drift right into space (up on the roof).
C
On the roof it's peaceful as
can be,
G Em C - D
and
there the world below can’t bother me !

2. Let me tell you now,
G Em
when I come home feelin' tired and beat,
C
D
G
I'll go up where the air is
fresh and sweet (up on the roof).
G Em
I'll get away from the
hustling crowd
C D
G
and
all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof).
C
On the roof's
the only place I know
G
Em C
where
you just have to wish to make it so.

At night the stars put on a
show for free,

3. I keep on telling you,
G Em
last
night there in the middle of town
C
D G
I've found a paradise that's
trouble proof (up on the roof).
G Em
And if this world starts
getting you down,
C D
G Em
there's
room enough for two up on the roof (up on the roof).
G Em
+ Up on the roof (up on
the roof) !
G Em
Come on, baby (up on the roof) !
G Em
Come on, girl (up on the roof) ....
