Up On The Roof

Carole King

 CAm
When this old world starts getting me down
 FDmC
And people are just too much for me to face
 CAm
climb way up to the top of the stairs
 FDmC
And all my cares just drift right in to space

 F
 On the roof it's peaceful as can be
 CGG7
And there the world below can't bother me  

Let me tell you now

 CAm
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
 FDmC
go up where the air is fresh and sweet
 CAm
get away from the hustling crowds
 FDmC
And all that rat race noise down in the street

 F
 On the roof's the only place I know
 CGG7
Where you just have to wish to make it so   

Oh, let's go up on the roof

Solo: C Am F Dm C

 F
At night the stars put on a show for free
 CGG7
And darling, you can share it all with me   

I keep a-telling you

 CAm
 Right smack dab in the middle of town
 FDmC
found a paradise that's trouble proof
 CAm
So if this world starts getting you down
 FDmC
there's room enough for two up on the roof

 F
Up on the roof
 C
Everything's all right
 F
Up on the roof
 C
Oh, come on baby
 F
Up on the roof
 C
Up on the roof

Outro: C Am F Dm C


Am C Dm F G G7
