                     G
In the middle of the night, (middle of the night)
 
I go walking in my sleep (I go walking in my sleep)
                      C
From the mountains of faith, (mountains of faith)
                D
to the river so deep  (river so deep)
 
                      G
I must be looking for something, (looking for something)
 
something sacred I lost (sacred I lost)
                 C
But the river is wide, (oh, it's wide)
                     D
and it's too hard to cross (too hard to cross)
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
Em                       D
  Even though I know the river is wide,
       Cmaj7                  Bm
I walk down every evening and stand on the shore
Em                      D
  I try to cross to the opposite side,
         A                           D
so I can finally find what I've been looking for

In the middle of the night, (middle of the night)
 
I go walking in my sleep (I go walking in my sleep)

Through the valley of fear, (valley of fear)
              D
to a river so deep  (river so deep)
 
                        G
I've been searching for something, (searching for something)
 
taken out of my soul (taken out of my soul)
                        C
Something I would never lose, (never lose)
                   D
something somebody stole (something somebody stole)
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
Em                      D
  I don't know why I go walking at night,
            Cmaj7                     Bm
but now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
Em                           D
  I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life,
        A                              D
until I find what it is that I've been looking for
 
{ CHORUS }
 
                     G
In the middle of the night, (middle of the night)
 
I go walking in my sleep (I go walking in my sleep)
                      C
Through the jungle of doubt, (jungle of doubt)
                D
to the river so deep   (river so deep)
 
                         G
I know I'm searching for something, (searching for something)
 
something so undefined (so undefined)
                    C
That it can only be seen, (only be seen)
                   D
by the eyes of the blind;
 
[Bridge]
 
                     G
in the middle of the night (I go walking in the, in the middle of)
G

Em                     D
  I'm not sure about a life after this,
    Cmaj7                   Bm
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Em                D                     A
  Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river,
                       D
that is running to the promised land

                     G
In the middle of the night, (middle of the night)
 
I go walking in my sleep (I go walking in my sleep)

Through the desert of truth, (desert of truth)
                D
to the river so deep   (river so deep)
 
                  G
We all end in the ocean; (end in the ocean)
 
we all start in the streams (we start in the streams)
                   C
We're all carried along, (carried along)
                D
by the river of dreams,
                     G
in the middle of the night
