D            D9              D                    D9
Standing by the elevator feeling gloomy and down
D                  D9                  D                    D9
Waiting for the flashing light to lift me off from the ground
            D         D9              D                  D9
Then the elevator opened and I saw her standing there


G                                    G
She had to be a young executive she looked so corporate and clean
D                        D9
And swear I'd seen her somewhere before
D                        D9
On the cover of a magazine
A
I didn't think she'd even look at me
G
Or bother to glance my way
        D7
But she actually smiled at me and said

"Hiya handsome, have a good day"

CHORUS:
D          D9       D      D9                        
I must be dreaming if she looks at me
D          D9             D        D9
I gotta be dreaming is it a fantasy
            G                                                D      
Now I got positive emotion buzzing round every molecule in me
D            D9               D      D9 
I gotta be dreaming is it reality
      A                  G
But over and over I'll relive that memory
        D7
Was it real or only a dream
D            D9
Na na na na na na na na
C                  G            D
Was it my imagination playing tricks on me when she looked my way?
C                        G
Maybe she took me for somebody else
            A      G          A      
Whatever it was, it made my day


D                  D9         D                  D9
I wake up in the morning, smiling with anticipation
D                  D9         D                        D9
Suddenly I feel alive, I face the world with expectation
G
I must be dreaming, is this a smile upon my face?
D            D9               D                    D9
I gotta be dreaming, the world is a better place


A                        G
Was it my imagination playing tricks on me?
       D7
Was it real or only a dream?


C                  G                  D      
I see a great big sunset where only clouds used to be
      C            G
Was it only an illusion
            A      G            A      G                     A            
If its fantasy, if its just a dream it's good enough for me


D               D9            D                        D9
Waiting by the elevator feeling optimistic and clean
D               D9                        D                  D9
Waiting for my executive goddess to appear as if in a dream
D               D9                        D                  D9
Then the elevator opened, she was talking to another guy
D               D9                              D                      D9
And I tried to say hello to her, but I failed to even catch her eye,
A                                    G
Then everybody crowded inside and I sadly stood my ground, thinking
D7
Life's just like that elevator, it takes you up and brings you down


D            D9
I must be dreaming. . .
