[Intro]
Em7 D/F# G A
When tDhis old world startsBm a getting meF#m7 down
And Em7people are just too A7sus4much for me toD face
I'll Dclimb way up to theBm top of the F#m7stairs
And Em7all my cares just A7sus4drift right into Dspace
GOn the roof, A7it's G/Bpeaceful A7as can Em7be D/F# G A7
And Dthere the A/C#world bBmelow don'tF#m7 bother Em7me, no, A7sus4no
So wheDn I come home feelinBmg tired andF#m7 beat
I'llEm7 go up where the airA7sus4 is fresh and Dsweet
I'll Dget far away from tBmhe hustling F#m7crowd
And Em7all the rat-race nA7sus4oise down in the Dstreet
GOn the A7roof, that's the G/Bonly A7place I Em7know D/F# G A7
Where Dyou just A/C#have to Bmwish to F#m7make it Em7so
Let's Asus4go up on the Droof
[Instrumental]
D Bm Em7 D/F# G A D
And at Gnight the A7stars they G/Bput on a A7show for Em7free D/F# G A7
And, Ddarling,A/C# you can sBmhare it F#m7all with Em7me
That's what I A7sus4said. Keep on telling you that
DRight smack dab in the Bmmiddle of F#m7town,
I Em7found a parA7sus4adise that's trouble Dproof
And Dif this old world starts a Bmgetting you F#m7down
There'sEm7 room enough for A7sus4two
