Tom: G

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'll 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 
		So when I come home feelin' tired and beat 
		     C               D                G 
		I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet 
		                       Em 
		I'll get away from the hustling crowd 
		    C                 D                 G 
		And all that rat-race noise down in the street 
	 
		C 
		On the roof that'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) 
	 
		Lead 
	 
		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 old 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
