     Up on the roof     up on the roof
         F                                Dm
When this whole world starts getting me down, 
       Bb                       C7                     F
And people are just too much, for me to face (up on the roof)
                               Dm
I climb way up to the top of the stairs, 
       Bb                    C7                    F
And all my cares just drift, right into space (up on the roof)
Bb
On the roof is peaceful as can be
       F                        Dm                    Bb
And there the world below, can`t bother me
C7/                                     F                            Dm
     Let me tell ya now, when I come home feeling tired and beat
       Bb                   C7                   F
I go up to where the air, is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)
                             Dm
I get away from the hustling crowd
       Bb                   C7                       F
And all that rat race noise, down in the street (up on the roof)
Bb
On the roof the only place I know
          F                      Dm                 Bb          C7/
Where you just have to wish to make it so...Let`s go!  Up on the roof

Instrumental:

Bb
At night the stars put on a show for free
       F                     Dm                       Bb
And darling you can share them all with me
C7/                                      F                              Dm
     I keep on tellin` you now, right smack dab in the middle of town
      Bb               C7                       F
I`ve found a paradise, that`s trouble proof (up on the roof)
                                   Dm
And if this world starts getting you down, 
            Bb                     C7                  F
There`s room enough for two, up on the roof (up on the roof)
               Dm                                                  F
Up on the roof (up on the roof) Hey!  Up on the roof (up on the roof 2X`s)
