Biography:
The Kinks (1963–1996; 2018-present) is an English pop-rock group that came out of the British R&B scene of the early 1960s. Formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray Davies and Dave Davies in 1964 and categorised in the United States as a "British Invasion" band, the Kinks are recognised as one of the most important and influential rock groups of the era. In 1990, their first year of eligibility, the original four members were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

[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
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
