(Starting Note: C) (Capo 3rd Fret)
Em D/F# G6 A7sus4
When this old world starts a getting me down, [ D Bm7 F#m7 ]
And people are just too much for me to face, [ Em7 G/A (D A/D D G/D A)]
I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs, [ D Bm7 F#m7 ]
And all my cares just drift right into space. [ Em7 G/A (D A/D D G/A A D)]
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be, [ G A G/B A Em7 (D/F# G6 A7)]
And there the world below don't bother me, no, no. [D A/D Bm7 F#m7 Em7 G/A]
So when I come home feeling tired and beat, [ D Bm7 F#m7 ]
I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet, [ Em7 G/A (D A/D D G/D A)
]
I'll get far away from the hustling crowd, [ D Bm7 F#m7 ]
And all the rat race noise down in the street. [ Em7 G/A (D A/D D G/A A D) ]
On the roof, that's the only place I know, [ G A G/B A Em7 (D/F# G6 A7) ]
Where you just have to wish to make it so. [ D A/D Bm7 F#m7 Em7]
Let's go up on the roof. [ tacet ]
[ D A/D D A/B Bm7 A/B Bm7 Em7 D/F# G A7 D A/D D G/A A D ]
At night the stars put on A show for free [ G A G/B A Em7 (D/F# G6 A7)]
And, darling, you can share it all with me. [ D A/D Bm7 F#m7 Em7 ]
That's what I said. Keep on telling you that [ G/A ]
right smack dab in the middle of town, [ D Bm7 F#m7 ]
I found A paradise that's trouble proof. [ Em7 G/A D (A/D D G/D A) ]
And if this old world starts a getting you down, [ D Bm7 F#m7 ]
There's room enough for two up on the roof. [ Em7 G/A ]
