[Verse]

^DIn the middle of the ^Gnight I go walking in my sleep From the ^G7mountains of ^Cfaith To a ^Cmaj7river so ^Ddeep I must be looking for ^Gsomething Something sac^Am7/Gred I ^Glost But the ^G7river is ^Cwide And it's ^Cmaj7too hard to ^Dcross

[Pre-Chorus]

^EmEven though I know the ^D6river is wide I walk ^Cmaj7down every evening and I ^Bm7stand on the shore ^Cmaj7 I try to cross to the ^Bmopposite side So I can ^Afinally find out what I've been ^Dlooking ^D6for^DmM7

[Chorus]

^D7 In

the middle of the ^Gnight I go walking in my sleep Through the ^G7valley of ^Cfear To a ^Cmaj7river so ^Ddeep And I've been sear^Cching for ^Gsomething Taken ou^Am7/Gt of my ^Gsoul Something ^G7I would never ^Close Something ^Cmaj7somebody ^Dstole

[Pre-Chorus]

^Em I don't know why I go ^D6walking at night But now I'm ^Cmaj7tired and I don't want to ^Bm7walk anymore ^Cmaj7 I hope it doesn't take the ^Bmrest of my life Until I ^Afind what it is that I've been ^Dlooking ^D6for^DmM7

[Chorus]

^D7

In the middle of the ^Gnight I go walking in my sleep Through the ^G7jungle of ^Cdoubt To a river so ^Ddeep I know I'm searching for ^Gsomething (Searching for ^Am7/Gsome- ^Gthing) Something so undefined (So Un-d^Am7/Gefi- ^Gned) That it can ^G7only be ^Cseen By the ^Cmaj7eyes of the ^Dblind G -> In the middle of the night

^Em I'm not sure about a ^D6life after this God k^Cmaj7nows I've never been a sp^Bm7iritual man ^Cmaj7 Baptized by the ^Bmfire, I wade into the ^Ariver That runs to the ^Dpromised ^D6lan^DmM7d

[Chorus]

^D7

In the middle of the ^Gnight I go walking in my sleep Through the ^G7desert of ^Ctruth To the river so ^Ddeep We all end ^D7in the ^Gocean (end in the ^Am7/Go- ^Gcean) We all start in the streams (start ^Am7/Gin the^G streams) We're all ca^G7rried ^Calong ^Cmaj7By the river of ^Ddreams In the middle of the ^Gnight
