[Chorus 1]
                     G                        G
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep

                      C                     D
From the mountains of faith to the river so deep

                      G                             G
I must be looking for something, something sacred I lost

                 C                         D
But the river is wide and it's too hard to cross
[Verse 1]
Em                         D
   Even though I know the river is wide

            C                   Bm
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore

C                      Bm             
   I try to cross to the opposite side

         A7                              D
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for
[Chorus 2]
                     G                        G
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep

                      C                  D
Through the valley of fear to a river so deep

                        G                         G
I've been searching for something taken out of my soul

                        C                        D
Something I could never lose, something somebody stole
[Verse 2]
Em                    D
I don't know why I go walking at night

            C                       Bm
But now I'm tired and I don't wanna walk anymore

C                         Bm
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life

        A7                        D
Until I find what it is I've been looking for
[Chorus 3]
                     G                        G
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep

                      C                     D
Through the jungle of doubt to the river so deep

                         G                       G
I know I'm searching for something, something so undefined

                    C                       D
That it only can be seen by the eyes of the blind

                     G          C     D
In the middle of the night
[Verse 3]
Em                  D
   Not sure about a life after this

     C                       Bm
God knows I've never been a spiritual man

C               Bm                 A7
   Baptized by fire, I wade into the river

                            D
That is runnin' through the promised land
[Chorus 4]
                     G                        G
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep

                      C                     D
Through the desert of truth to the river so deep

                  G                          G
We all end in the ocean, we all start in the streams

                   C                    D
We're all carried along by the river of dreams

                     G
In the middle of the night
