[Verse]
D               Dsus2        D               Dsus2
Standing by the elevator, feeling gloomy and down
D               Dsus2             D                   Dsus2
Waitin’ for the flashing light to lift me up from the ground
         D        Dsus2        D                Dsus2
Then the elevator opened and I saw her standing there
           G
She had to be a young executive, she looked so corporate and clean
      D                        Dsus2               D              Dsus2
And I thought I'd seen her somewhere before on the cover of a magazine
         A                               G
I didn't think she'd even look at me, or bother to glance my way
        D7
But she actually smiled at me and said "hiya handsome, have a good day"
[Chorus]
D         Dsus2    D               Dsus2
I must be dreamin’ if she looks at me
D          Dsus2        D         Dsus2
I gotta be dreamin’, is it a fantasy?
             G                                                 D
Now I’ve got positive emotion buzzin’ ‘round every molecule in me
D          Dsus2        D       Dsus2
I gotta be dreamin’, is it reality?
    A                 G
But over and over I relive that memory
       D7
Was it real or only a dream?
D           Dsus2  D           Dsus2
Na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na
D     Dsus2  D           Dsus2
Na na na na, na na na na na na na na
[Bridge]
       C       G              D
Was it my imagination playin’ 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, hey hey
[Verse]
D                Dsus2       D           Dsus2
I wake up in the morning, smiling with anticipation
D          Dsus2         D                   Dsus2
Suddenly I feel alive, I face the world with expectation
G
I must be dreamin’, is this a smile upon my face?
D          Dsus2          D                 Dsus2
I gotta be dreamin’, this world is a better place
       A              G
Was it my imagination playin’ tricks on me?
       D7
Was it real or only a dream?
[Bridge]
C                 G                 D
I see a great big sunset where only clouds used to be
       C         G             A    G
Was it only an illusion, is it fantasy?  
               A G                         A
If it’s just a dream, it's good enough for me, yeah yeah
[Verse]
D              Dsus2    D                      Dsus2
Waiting by the elevator feeling optimistic and clean
D              Dsus2                  D               Dsus2
Waiting for my executive goddess to appear as if in a dream
D                 Dsus2           D                  Dsus2
Then the elevator opened, she was talking to another guy
D                     Dsus2            D                        Dsus2
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, thinkin’
D7
Life’s just like that elevator, it takes you up and brings you down
