Up On The Roof

G                           
...When this old world starts 
  Em
getting me down.
    C                       Am    
And people are just, too much for 
      G
me to face. (up, up on the roof)
  Em
I climb way up, to the top of the 
stairs.
    C                 Am          
And all my cares just drift, right
      G
 into space. (up, up on the roof)

{Verse 2}
C
On the roof, it's peaceful as can 
be.
    G         Em               
And there the world below, can't 
         C
bother me.
       G                        
Let me tell you now, when I come 
              Em
home feelin' tired and beat.
  C                Am             
I go up, where the air, is fresh 
   G           Em
and sweet. (up, up on the roof)

{Verse 3}
  G               Em
I get away from a hustling crowd.
    C                 Am     Dm  
And all that rat-race noise, down
        G
 in the street (up, up on the roof)

C
On the roof, the only place I know.
      G                 Em        
Where you, just have to wish-to 
      Cm
make it so.
        D                  G
Let's - go - up - on - the roof. 
(up, up on the roof)

{Bridge}
G      Em      C        Am   
             Oohoo, ooh     
Dm        G
(up on the roof)

{Verse 4}
G     C               Am    Cm 
   At night the stars put on, a
          C
 show for free.
     G                         Em 
And, darling, you can share it 
       C
all, with me.
  D                      G        
I keep on a-tellin' you, right 
              Em        Am
smack dab in the middle of town.
     C             Am       
I've found a paradise, that's 
  Dm      G
trouble proof. (up, up on the roof)

{Coda}
                         Em
And if this world starts getting me 
down.
        C                 Am
There's room enough for two,
D         G
up on the roof (up, up on the roof)
Em
Up on the roo-oo-oof, (up on the 
roof)
             G
Oh, come on, baby (up, up on the 
roof)

                  Em
Oho,oh Come on, honey (up on the

Come on sweetheart, (up, up on the 
roof)
        Em
Come on baby. (up on the roof)
Em
Everything is all right, (up on the 
roof)
Em
Up on you. (up on the roof) 
oohoo,hoo.
