Up On the Roof
Gerry Goffin & Carole King (1962)

G                          Em
When this old world starts getting me down 
    C                   D              G
And people are just too much for me to face
                         Em
I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs
    C                 D                G
And all my cares just drift right into space

C
On the roof it's peaceful as can be
    G                 Em               C   D
And there the world below don't bother me

   G                        Em
So when I come home feelin' tired and beat
     C               D                G
I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
                       Em
I'll get away from the hustling crowd
    C                 D                 G
And all that rat-race noise down in the street

C
On the roof that's the only place I know
      G                Em              C
Where you just have to wish to make it so
     D              G
Lets go up on the roof

Break

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

I keep on telling you that
G                      Em
Right smack dab in the middle of town 
     C            D                    G
I've found a paradise that's troubleproof
       G                     Em
And if this old world starts getting you down
        C                 D           G     Em           C    D
There's room enough for two up on the roof     up on the roof
          G    Em          C    D
Up on the roof   up on the roof
            G
Up on the roof
