The Kinks - Only A Dream Chords
[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
