Up on the Roof chords
Start Jamming...
[Ab] Up on the roof, up on the roof
When this whole world [Fm] starts getting me down
[Db] And people [Bbm] are just too much for me to [Fm] face
Up on the roof
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
[Db] And all my cares [Bbm] just drift [Ab] right into space
Up on the roof
[Db] On the roof, [Bbm] peaceful as [Db] can be
[Bbm] [Ab] Let [Fm] [Db]
[Eb] me tell you now [Ab] when I come home feeling [Fm] tired and weak
[Db] I go up where the [Bbm] air is fresh [Ab] and sweet
I get away from [Fm] the hustling crowd
[Db] And all that rat race [Bbm] noise [Fm] down in the street
Up on the roof
[Db] Only [Bbm] place [Db] I know
[Ab] Where you [Fm] just have to make it [Db] so
Just [Eb] go up on [Ab] the roof
Up on the roof
[Fm]
[Db] [Bbm] [Ab]
[Bbm] At night the stars pull on a show [Db] for free
[Ab] And darling you [Fm] can share it all [Db] with me
[Eb] People telling [Ab] you right smack dab [Fm] in the middle of town
[Db] I found a [Bbm] paradise that's trouble [Ab] proof
When this world [Fm] starts getting you down
[Db] There's room enough [Bbm] for two
[Eb] Up [Ab] on the roof
[Fm] Up on the roof
[Ab] Most of all me
Most of [Fm] all I
[N]
