capo 5 — sounds 5 semitones higherVerse 1
When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
Chorus
On the roof it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now
Verse 2
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from the hustling crowd
And all that rat race noise down in the street
Chorus
On the roof's the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Oh, let's go up on the roof
Interlude
Chorus
At night the stars put on a show for free
And darling, you can share it all with me
I keep on telling you
Verse 3
Right smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble proof
So if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two up on the roof
Outro
Up on the roof
Everything is all right
Up on the roof
Oh, come on baby
Up on the roof
Everything is all right
Up on the roof
(fade out)
