UP ON THE ROOF
by Gerry Goffin & Carole King

C Am
When this old world starts getting me down
F Dm C
And people are just too much for me to face
C Am
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
F Dm C

And all my cares just drift right in to space

F
On the roof it's peaceful as can be
C G G7
And there the world below can't bother me

Let me tell you now

C Am
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
F Dm C
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
C Am
I get away from the hustling crowds
F Dm C
And all that rat race noise down in the street


F
On the roof's the only place I know
C G G7
Where you just have to wish to make it so

Oh, let's go up on the roof


Solo: C Am F Dm C


F
At night the stars put on a show for free
C G G7
And darling, you can share it all with me

I keep a-telling you

C Am
Right smack dab in the middle of town
F Dm C
I found a paradise that's trouble proof
C Am
So if this world starts getting you down
F Dm C
there's room enough for two up on the roof

F
Up on the roof
C
Everything's all right
F
Up on the roof
C
Oh, come on baby
F
Up on the roof
C
Up on the roof


Outro: C Am F Dm C
