[Verse 1]
D Bm7 F#m7
When this old world starts a getting me down
Em7 A7sus4 D Dsus2 D G A
And people are just too much for me to face
D Bm7 F#m7
I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs
Em7 A7sus4 D Dsus2 D G A D
And all my cares just drift right into space
[Hook]
G A7 G/B A7 Em7 D/F# G A7
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
D A/C# Bm7 F#m7 Em7 A7sus4
And there the world below don't bother me, no, no
[Verse 2]
D Bm7 F#m7
So when I come home feeling tired and beat
Em7 A7sus4 D Dsus2 D G A
I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
D Bm7 F#m7
I'll get far away from the hustling crowd
Em7 A7sus4 D Dsus2 D G A D
And all the rat-race noise down in the street
[Hook]
G A7 G/B A7 Em7 D/F# G A7
On the roof, that's the only place I know
D A/C# Bm7 F#m7 Em7
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Asus4 D
Let's go up on the roof
[Instrumental]
D Dsus2 D B7sus2 Bm7 B7sus2 Bm7
Em7 D/F# G A
D Dsus2 D G A D
[Hook]
G A7
And at night the stars
G/B A7 Em7 D/F# G A7
they put on a show for free
D A/C# Bm7 F#m7 Em7
And, darling, you can share it all with me
A7sus4
That's what I said. Keep on telling you that
[Verse 3]
D Bm7 F#m7
Right smack dab in the middle of town,
Em7 A7sus4 D Dsus2 D G A
I found a paradise that's trouble proof
D Bm7 F#m7
And if this old world starts a getting you down
Em7 A7sus4
There's room enough for two
[Chorus]
D Dsus2 D B7sus2 Bm7 B7sus2 Bm7
Up on a roof
Em7 D/F# G A
Up on a roof
D Dsus2 D B7sus2 Bm7 B7sus2 Bm7
Up on a roof
Em7 D/F# G A
Oh oh…
D Dsus2 D B7sus2 Bm7 B7sus2 Bm7 Em7 D/F# G A
Everything is alright, everything is alright
D Dsus2 D B7sus2 Bm7 B7sus2 Bm7 Em7 D/F# G A
Come on
D Dsus2 D B7sus2 Bm7
Stop what you’re doing tonight and climb up the stairs
B7sus2 Bm7 Em7 D/F# G A
with me and see
D Dsus2 D
We got the stars up above
B7sus2 Bm7 B7sus2 Bm7
and the city lights below
Em7 D/F# G A D Dsus2 D
Oooooooooooohhhhhhhh, up on a roof now
B7sus2 Bm7 B7sus2 Bm7 Em7 D/F# G A D
When this old world starts a getting me down,
and people are just too much for me to face.
I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs and all my cares just drift right into space.
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be and there the world below don't bother me, no, no.
So when I come home feeling tired and beat, I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet.
I'll get far away from the hustling crowd and all the rat-race noise down in the street.
On the roof, that's the only place I know, look at the city, baby.
Where you just have to wish to make it so, let's go up on the roof.
And at night the stars, they put on a show for free.
And, darling, you can share it all with me, that's what I said, keep on telling you
That right smack dab in the middle of town , I found a paradise that's trouble-proof.
And if this old world starts a getting you down, there's room enough for two
up on the roof, up on the roof, up on the roof.
Everything is all right, every thing is all right.
You got the stars above and the city lights below, let's go up on the roof.
