Verse 1:
      C              Bm      Am             G
When this old world starts getting me down
    F          Em       Dm             C    F  G C
And people are just too much for me to face
   C           Bm     Am                G
I climb way up to the top of the stairs

And all my cares just drift right into space

I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet

I'll get far away from the hustling crowd
    Gm                 C                 F       Am Bb  C  F
And all that rat-race noise down in the street
   Bb         C    Dm               C
oh,up on the roof, that's the only place
   Bb  C                   Dm  C
I know that they said you'd be,
       F               Dm           Am Bb
where you just have to wish to make it sooo...
      Bb          F    C   Dm   C
let's go up on my roof

F   C  Bb C F

At night the stars put on a show for free

     Gm           C                              F     Bb C Bb C
I've found a paradise that's just about trouble proof
    F                        Dm          C
And if this old world starts getting you down
        G                C             F     F
There's room enough for two up on my roof
