When this old world starts a getting me down
     
( Em                    A              D     D D9 D )    E------3---3-3/5 RIF 1
                                                         B--2/3-3-3-3-3/5
                                                         G-------0-
And people are just too much for me to face
D                      Bm              A/C#
I'm gonna climb way up to the top of the stairs
     Em            A                        D D9 D (G A7) D D
And all my cares they drift right into space

G            A     G/B         A
Oh on the roof it's peaceful as can be          
D                    Bm             A/C#  Em
And there the world below, it don't bother me
A
No no no no

D                           Bm        A/C#
So when I come home feeling tired and beat
          Em             A                 D               D D9 D  Rif 1
I got to go up where the air is fresh and sweet for me now
D                     Bm         A/C#
I'm far away from the husteling crowd
     Em                A7                    D D9 D  (G A7) D D
And all that rat race noise down in the street

G           A          G/B         A             Em
Oh on the roof, that's the only place that I know
D/F#               G  A7
Look at the city baby
D                      Bm       A/C#       Em
Where you just have to wish to make it so

Lets go up on my roof
G                  A      G/B         A          Em D/F# G A7
And at night the stars, they put on a show for free
D                    Bm     A/C#              Em
And darlin' you can share, share it all with me
Em        A7
Hear what I say

Keep on tellin' you that
D                       Bm        A/C#
Right smack dab in the middle of town
Em                     A7                       D       D9    D  Rif 1
Well I've found a paradise just about trouble proof I know now
D                                Bm         A/C#
And if this old world starts a getting you down
Em                             A7
Well there's room enough for two up on my roof
D D9 D D9 D D9 D  Em D/F# G A7
Up on my roof

Drop what you're doing tonight 
Bm                   A/C#                       Em D/F# G A7
And climb up the stairs with me and see baby 
D                                     Bm        A/C#
We got the stars up above us and the city lights below
