[F] When this old world [D] starts a getting [Am] me down
[G] And people are just [C] too much
for me [F] to face

[Dm] To the top of [Am] the stair [G] and all [Gm] my cares [C] is right in
[F] [C] On [F]
[Bb] [C] the roof, [Bb] it's peaceful
As can [Gm] be
[F] [Bb] [C]
[F] And there [C] the world [Dm] below [Am] don't bother [Gm] me
No, [C] no
So [F] when I come home

[F] [Bb] [C]
[F] And darling you can [Dm] share it [Am] all [Gm] with me
That's what [G] I said keep on telling [F] you that right smack down
[Dm] In the middle [Am] of town [Gm] I found a paradise
[D] [Bb] It's trouble [F]-proof
[Bb] [C]
[F] And if this old world [Dm] starts a getting [Am] you down
[Gm] There's room enough [Bb] for two
up [F] on the roof
[Dm] Up [Gm] on the roof

[Gm] Oh [F] now
[Bb] [F]
Everything is [Dm] all right.
