The Drifters - Up on the roof

^GWhen this old world starts ^Emgetting me down And ^Cpeople are just too ^Dmuch for me to ^Gface I climb way up to the ^Emtop of the stairs And ^Call my cares just ^Ddrift right into ^Gspace

^COn the roof, it's peaceful as can be And ^Gthere the world be^Emlow can't bother ^Cme ^D

^GWhen I come home feelin' ^Emtired and beat I ^Cgo up where the ^Dair is fresh and ^Gsweet (up on the roof) I get away from the ^Emhustling crowd And ^Call that rat-race ^Dnoise down in the ^Gstreet (up on the roof)

^COn the roof, the only place I know Where ^Gyou just have to ^Emwish to make it ^Cso ^D

^CAt night the stars put on a show for free And, ^Gdarling, you can ^Emshare it all with ^Cme ^D

^GRight smack dab in the ^Emmiddle of town I've ^Cfound a para^Ddise that's trouble ^Gproof (up on the roof) And ^Gif this world starts ^Emgetting you down There's ^Croom enough for ^Dtwo Up on the ^Groof^Em (up on the roof) Up on the ^Croo-oo-oof^D (up on the roof) Oh, come on, ^Cbaby ^D(up on the roof) Oh, come on, ^Choney^D (up on the roof)
