Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]When this old world
[Bm]starts getting me [D]down
[Bm]And peop[Em]le are just [G]too
[A]much for [C]me to [D]face
I climb way [Bm]up to the top of the stairs
And [G]all [Em]my c[G]ares just
[A]drift right [C]in [A]to space
[D]

[Verse 2]
[G]On the roof, [Em]it’s peace[C]ful [G]as can [Bm]be,
[D]bab[G]y
[C]Oooh a[G]nd ther[D]e the world
Be[B]low can’t bother [E]me, [A]yeah
Let me tell you now

[Verse 3]
When [D]I come h[Bm]ome
feelin’ tired and beat
[D]I go [Em]up wh[G]ere the [A]air is
[C]fresh an[A]d sweet[D]
(up on the roof)
I get away from the [Bm]hustling crowd
And [Em]all that r[G]at race [A]noise
Down [C]in the street
[D]

[Verse 4]
Now listen here
[G]On the roof,
[Em]the [C]only p[G]lace I k[Bm]now[G]
Oooh where [D]you just have to
[Bm]Wish[B] to make it so[E][A]
let’s go up on the roof
[D]

[Verse 5]
[D]La la la [Bm]la la l[Em]a la[G][A]
[C]… (up on [D]the roof)

[Verse 6]
At [G]night the [C]stars [Em]put
on [C]a show [Em]for [Bm]free
[D]Oh, [G]and, dar[D]ling, you can sha[B]re
It all with [E]me, oh, [A]oh baby

[Verse 7]
And [D]if this world [Bm]starts
getting you [G]down[A][C]
[D]The[Bm]re’s room[D][Bm]
[D]enough [Bm]for two
Up [D]on the [Bm]roof[D] (up[Bm] on the roof)
Up on the [D]roo [Bm]oo oof

[Outro 1]
(up on the roof)
[Bm][D][Bm]
