I didn't know how to deal with them, so I used to do this.
And as soon as I got up there, it all got better.
[G] Ladies and gentlemen, James Taylor.
[Cm] [F] [Bb] [F] When it's over, [Dm] it starts to get [Am] in me [Gm] down.
And people are just too much [F] for me to fake.
[C] [F] [Bb] [C] I'm on [F] a climb way up [Dm] to the top of [Am] the stairs.
[C] And [Gm] all my cares [F] exist [Bb] right [F] in space.
[Bb] [C] [F] [Bb] Oh, on [C] the roof, [Dm] it's peaceful [C] as [Gm] can [F] be.
[Bb] [F] And there, [C] the wind [Dm] can blow.
It [Am] don't bother [Gm] me no how.
But no, so [F] can I.
Come home, [Dm] feeling tired [Am] and beat.
I [Gm] won't go up where the [F] air is fresh and sweet [C] for you.

[Gm] and all that rat race noise [D] [C] of in [F] [C]
[F]-street.
[Bb] [C] [F] Oh, [Bb] on [C] the roof, [Dm] that's the only [C] place that [Gm] I know

[F] [Gm] [F] I'm up [C] [Dm] on [Gm] my roof.
