When this old world starts getting me down. And people are just too much for me to face
I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs. 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

So when I come home feelin' tired and beat I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I'll get away from the hustling crowd 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. (Let's go up on the roof)(up on the roof)

Solo: (see below)

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

Right smack dab in the middle of town I've found a paradise that's trouble proof
And if this old world starts getting you down There's room enough for two up on the roof

           C    D                 G    Em
Up on the roof  Up on the roof
Up on the roof  Up on the roof
