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)
