When this old world starts a getting me down
 7  -9 -9  8    7    6  -6    6  -6 7  -6 6
and people are just too much for me to face
 6     7    7  7  -8 7   -9  8  7     7
I`ll climb way up to the top of the stairs
 7  -9  8   7     6    -6    6    -6 7   8
and all my cares just drift right into space

On the roof it`s peacful as can be
 7   -10   9    8   -10 9  8    -10 9  8-8
and there the world below don`t bother me


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 bustling crowds
and all that ratrace noise down in the street
On the roof that`s the only place I know
where you don`t have to wish to make it so
