[Ab]
When this old world [Fm] starts getting me down [Db] and people are just [Gb] too [Bbm] much for me [Eb] to [Ab] face
I climb way up to the [Fm] top of the stair [Db] and all my cares just [Bbm] drift right into [Ab] space
[Db] On the roof [Bbm] it's peaceful as [Db] can be
[Bbm] [Ab] And there the world [Fm] below can't bother [Db]
[Eb] me
Let me tell you now [Ab] when I come home [Fm] feeling tired and weak
[Db] I go up where [Eb] the air is fresh [Ab] and sweet
