Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen (born September 23, 1949), nicknamed "The Boss," is an American singer-songwriter and leader of the E Street Band. He is recognized for his poetic lyrics, his Jersey Shore roots, his distinctive voice, and his lengthy, energetic stage performances.
Springsteen has recorded both rock albums and more somber folk-oriented works. His most successful studio albums, Born to Run (1975) and Born in the U.S.A. (1984), find pleasures in the struggles of daily American life.

F#D#m When this old world starts getting me down BC#F# And people are just too much for me to face D#m I climb way up to the top of the stairs BC#F# And all my cares just drift right into space
B On the roof, it's peaceful as can be F#D#mBC# And there the world below don't bother me
F#D#m When I come home feelin' tired and beat BC#F# I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof) D#m I get away from the hustling crowd BC#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#mBC# Where you just have to wish to make it so
F#D#m Right smack dab in the middle of town BC#F# I've found a paradise that's trouble proof D#m And if this world starts getting you down BC# There's room enough for two F#D#m Up on the roof (up on the roof) BC# Up on the roof (up on the roof) BC# Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof) BC# Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof)
