G                          Em
When this old world starts getting me down
    C                   Am7      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                 Am7   D          G
And all my cares just drift right into space

[Chorus]
C
On the roof it's peaceful as can be
    G                 Em               C
And there the world below can't bother me
D
 Let Me Tell You Now

[Verse 2]
   G                        Em
So when I come home feelin' tired and beat
     C               Am7    D         G
I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
                       Em
I'll get away from the hustling crowd
    C                 Am7   D           G
And all that rat-race noise down in the street

[Chorus]
C
On the roof that's the only place I know
      G                Em              C
Where you just have to wish to make it so
     D
Lets go up on the roof      

[Interlude]
G   Em   C   Am7 D G

[Chorus]
C
At night the stars put on a show for free
    G               Em                C
And darling you can share it all with me
D
 I keep on telling you that  

[Verse 3]
G                      Em
Right smack dab in the middle of town
     C           Am7         D       G
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof
       G                     Em
And if this old world starts getting you down
        C               Am7 D         G     Em
There's room enough for two up on the roof

[Outro]
          C    D
Up on the roof
              G         Em
Everything is all right
          C    D
Up on the roof
             G    Em
Oh.. come on baby..
          C    D
Up on the roof
              G         Em
Everything is all right
          C    D
Up on the roof
