F#                         D#m
 When this old world starts getting me down
     B                C#                      F#
And people are just too much for me to face
                             D#m
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
     B                C#                    F#
And all my cares just drift right into space

B
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
     F#                 D#m             B     C#
And there the world below don't bother me

F#                         D#m
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
     B                C#                      F#
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)
                           D#m
I get away from the hustling crowd
   B                C#                      F#
And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof)

B
On the roof, the only place I know
     F#             D#m                B   C#
Where you just have to wish to make it so


 F#                      D#m
Right smack dab in the middle of town
               B             C#                           F#
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof
                         D#m
And if this world starts getting you down
         B               C#
There's room enough for two
           F#       D#m
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
           B            C#
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
              B         C#
Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof)
              B   C#
Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof)
