D5            D5              D5                    D5
Standing by the elevator feeling gloomy and down
D5                  D5                  D5                    D5
Waiting for the flashing light to lift me off from the ground
            D5         D5              D5                  D5
Then the elevator opened and I saw her standing there


G5                                    G5
She had to be a young executive she looked so corporate and clean
D5                        D5
And swear I'd seen her somewhere before
D5                        D5
On the cover of a magazine
A5
I didn't think she'd even look at me
G5
Or bother to glance my way
        D5
But she actually smiled at me and said

"Hiya handsome, have a good day"

CHORUS:
D5          D5       D5      D5                        
I must be dreaming if she looks at me
D5          D5             D5        D5
I gotta be dreaming is it a fantasy
            G5                                                D5      
Now I got positive emotion buzzing round every molecule in me
D5            D5               D5      D5 
I gotta be dreaming is it reality
      A5                  G5
But over and over I'll relive that memory
        D5
Was it real or only a dream
D5            D5
Na na na na na na na na
C5                  G5            D5
Was it my imagination playing tricks on me when she looked my way?
C5                        G5
Maybe she took me for somebody else
            A5      G5          A5      
Whatever it was, it made my day


D5                  D5         D5                  D5
I wake up in the morning, smiling with anticipation
D5                  D5         D5                        D5
Suddenly I feel alive, I face the world with expectation
G5
I must be dreaming, is this a smile upon my face?
D5            D5               D5                    D5
I gotta be dreaming, the world is a better place


A5                        G5
Was it my imagination playing tricks on me?
       D5
Was it real or only a dream?


C5                  G5                  D5      
I see a great big sunset where only clouds used to be
      C5            G5
Was it only an illusion
            A5      G5            A5      G5                     A5            
If its fantasy, if its just a dream it's good enough for me


D5               D5            D5                        D5
Waiting by the elevator feeling optimistic and clean
D5               D5                        D5                  D5
Waiting for my executive goddess to appear as if in a dream
D5               D5                        D5                  D5
Then the elevator opened, she was talking to another guy
D5               D5                              D5                      D5
And I tried to say hello to her, but I failed to even catch her eye,
A5                                    G5
Then everybody crowded inside and I sadly stood my ground, thinking
D5
Life's just like that elevator, it takes you up and brings you down


D5            D5
I must be dreaming. . .
