When this old world starts a get-ting me down 
 3   4   4  -4    3  -1   2   -1  2  3  2 -1
and peo-ple are just too much for me to face 
 -1    3    3  3  -3  3   4  -4  3    3
I`ll climb way up to the top of the stairs 
 3   4  -4   3    -1    2    -1   2  3   -4
and all my cares just drift right in-to space 
4  -4    3   4    -4    3  4  -4  3
On the roof it`s peace-ful as can be 
 3    6   -5    -4  6  -5   -4    6   -5 -4-3
and there the world be-low don`t both-er  me 

3    2  3  3    3    -3   3   4  -4  3   3
So when I come home feel-ing tir-ed and beat 
 3   4  -4   3   -1   2  -1   2    3   2 -1
I`ll go up where the air is fresh and sweet 
 -1   3   3  3  3   -3   3   4 -4  3    3
I`ll get far a-way from the hus-tling crowds 
 3   4   -4   3   -1    2    -1  2   3    -4
and all that rat-race noise down in the street 
4  -4    3    4     4  -4 3    4  -4   3
On the roof that`s the on-ly place I know 
   3   6   -5   -4  6   -5  -4   6  -5 -4-3
where you just have to wish to make it  so

At night the stars put on a show for free 
 3   6   -5  -4   6    -5  -4  6   -5 -4-3
And dar-ling you can share it all with me 
-5  6 -5  -4  -3   3
I keep a-tell-in` you 
  3     3    3  -3  3   4  -4  3   3
right smack dab in the mid-dle of town 
3   4  -4  3 -1  2    -1      2   3   2 -1 
I found a par-a-dise that`s trou-ble proof 
-1  3    3    3     -3    4  -4    3   3 
And if this world starts get-tin` you down 
   3      4  -4   3  -1   2  -1  2  3   -5
there`s room e-nough for two Up On The Roof
