Up on the Roof Lyrics
by Laura Nyro
aj7
When this old world starts getting me down
Fmaj7 G7(low) Cmaj7
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
Fmaj7 G79(low) Cmaj7
And all my cares just drift right in to space
On the roof the only place I know
You just have to wish to make it so
Up on the roof
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
Fmaj7 G79(low) Cmaj7
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from the hustling crowds
Fmaj7 G79(low) Cmaj7
And all that rat race noise down in the street
At night the stars put on a show for free
And darling, you can share it all with me
Lets go, I keep a-telling you
Right smack down in the middle of town
Fmaj7 G79(low) Cmaj7
I found a paradise that's trouble proof
So if this world starts getting you down
Fmaj7 G79(low) Cmaj7
there's room enough for two up on the roof
Maj7
Up on the roof
Everyhting's all right
Up on the roof
Oh, come on baby
Up on the roof
Up on the roof
