G5                          E5
When this old world starts getting me down
    C5                   D5              G5
And people are just too much for me to face
                      E5
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
    C5                 D5                G5
And all my cares just drift right into space

C5          
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
    G5                 E5               C5  D5
And there the world below can't bother me

Let me tell you now

G5                        E5
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
  C5               D5                G5
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)
                    E5
I get away from the hustling crowd
    C5                 D5                 G5
And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof)

C5
On the roof, the only place I know
      G5                E5              C5  D5
Where you just have to wish to make it so

Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof)

C5
At night the stars put on a show for free
     G5                E5                C5  D5
And, darling, you can share it all with me

I keep a-tellin' you

G5                      E5
Right smack dab in the middle of town
     C5           D5                   G5
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof (up on the roof)
    G5                    E5
And if this world starts getting you down
        C5               D5
There's room enough for two
          G5   E5
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
          C5         D5
Up on the roo-oo-oof (up on the roof)
             C5    D5
Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof)
             C5    D5
Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof)
