When this old world starts a get-ting me down
3 4 4 -4 3 -1 2 -1 2 3 2 -1
and peo-ple are just too much for me to face
-1 3 3 3 -3 3 4 -4 3 3
I`ll climb way up to the top of the stairs
3 4 -4 3 -1 2 -1 2 3 -4
and all my cares just drift right in-to space
4 -4 3 4 -4 3 4 -4 3
On the roof it`s peace-ful as can be
3 6 -5 -4 6 -5 -4 6 -5 -4-3
and there the world be-low don`t both-er me
3 2 3 3 3 -3 3 4 -4 3 3
So when I come home feel-ing tir-ed and beat
3 4 -4 3 -1 2 -1 2 3 2 -1
I`ll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
-1 3 3 3 3 -3 3 4 -4 3 3
I`ll get far a-way from the hus-tling crowds
3 4 -4 3 -1 2 -1 2 3 -4
and all that rat-race noise down in the street
4 -4 3 4 4 -4 3 4 -4 3
On the roof that`s the on-ly place I know
3 6 -5 -4 6 -5 -4 6 -5 -4-3
where you just have to wish to make it so

At night the stars put on a show for free
3 6 -5 -4 6 -5 -4 6 -5 -4-3
And dar-ling you can share it all with me
-5 6 -5 -4 -3 3
I keep a-tell-in` you
3 3 3 -3 3 4 -4 3 3
right smack dab in the mid-dle of town
3 4 -4 3 -1 2 -1 2 3 2 -1
I found a par-a-dise that`s trou-ble proof
-1 3 3 3 -3 4 -4 3 3
And if this world starts get-tin` you down
3 4 -4 3 -1 2 -1 2 3 -5
there`s room e-nough for two Up On The Roof
