Lyrics

When this old world starts a (Em7)getting me down and (C)people are just too much for me to (G)face,

I'll climb way a up to the (Em7)top of the stairs and (C)all my cares just drift right into space.

On the roof it's the (C6)peaceful as can be and (G)there the world below don't bother (C)me.

(Am7)So, when (G)I come home feeling (Em7)tired ting and beat,

I'll (C)go ple up where the air is fresh and (G)sweet.

I'll get far a way from the (Em7)hus of tling crowds and (C)all that ratrace noise down in the street.

On the roof that's the (C6)only place I know where (G)you just have to wish to make it (C)so;

(Am7)So, when up on the roof.

(G)At (C)night the stars put (C6)on a show for free,

and, (G)darling, you can (Em7)share it all with (C)me.

I keep atellin' you (G)right smack dab in the (Em7)middle of town I (C)found a paradise that's (G)troubleproof.

And if this world starts (Em7)gettin' you down,

there's (C)room enough for two up on the (G)roof.
