Written by Carole King and G. Goffin
G Em When this old world starts getting me down C D G And people are just too much for me to face Em I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs C D G And all my cares just drift right into space C On the roof it's peaceful as can be G Em C D And there the world below don't bother me G Em So when I come home feelin' tired and beat C D G I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet Em I'll get away from the hustling crowd C D G And all that rat-race noise down in the street C On the roof that's the only place I know G Em C D Where you just have to wish to make it so go up on the roof Interlude: G Em C D G G Em C D G Em C At night the stars put on a show for free G Em C D And darling you can share it all with me. I keep on telling you that G Em Right smack dab in the middle of town C D G I've found a paradise that's trouble proof G Em And if this old world starts getting you down C D G Em There's room enough for two up on the roof C D G Em C D G Up on the roof. Up on the roof. Up on the roof
