In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep 
                      C5                   D5 
from the mountains of faith to a river so deep 
                      G5                            G5 
I must be looking for something something sacred I lost 
                 C5                         D5 
But the river is wide and it's too hard to cross 
 
 
E5                          D5 
And even thought I knew the river is wide 
            C5                   A5 
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore 
E5                      D5 
And try to cross to the opposite side 
         A5                              D5 
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for 
 
 
                     G5                        G5 
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep 
                       C5                  D5 
Through the  valley of fear to a river so deep 
                            G5                          G5 
And I've been searching for something taken away of my soul 
                        C5                       D5 
Something I would never lose something somebody stole 
 
 
E5                    D5 
I don't know why I go walking at night 
            C5                 A5 
But now I'm tired and I don't walk anymore 
E5                         D5 
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life 
        A5                        D5 
Until I find what it is I've been looking for 
 
 
                     G5                         G5 
In the middle of the night  I go walking in my sleep 
                      C5                   D5 
Through the jungle of doubt to a river so deep 
                         G5                      G5 
I know I'm searching for something something so undefined 
                    C5                     D5 
That it only can be seen by the eyes of a blind 
                     G5 
In the middle of the night 
 
 
E5                            D5 
I'm not sure about life after this 
          C5                 A5 
god knows I've never been a spiritual man 
E5                      A5 
Babtized by the fire, I wade into the river 
     A5              D5 
That turns to be the promised land 
 
 
                     G5                        G5 
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep 
                      C5                   D5 
Through the desert of truth to a river so deep 
                      G5                         G5 
We're all land in the ocean we all start in the streams 
                  C5                     D5 
We're all carried along by the river of dreams 
                     G5 
In the middle of the night
