In the middle of (I go walking in) |

In the middle of the | night |
I go walking in my sleep
| G7 | C |
From the | mountains of | faith |
| Cmaj7 | D |
To the | river so | deep |

I must be looking for | something |
Something sacred I lost
| G7 | C |
But the | river is | wide |
| Cmaj7 | D |
And it’s | too hard to | cross |
Em | Gmaj7 |
And even though I know the | river is wide |
| Cmaj7 | G |
I walk | down every evening and | stand on the shore |
Cmaj7 | Gmaj7 |
I try to cross to the | opposite side |
| A7 | D |
So I can | finally find out what I’ve been | looking for |
| G |
In the middle of the | night |
I go walking in my sleep
| G7 | C |
Through the | valley of | fear |
| Cmaj7 | D |
To a | river so | deep |
| G |
I’ve been searching for | something |
Taken out of my soul
| G7 | C |
Something | I could never | lose |
| Cmaj7 | D |
Something | somebody | stole |
| Em | Gmaj7 |
I | don’t know why I go | walking at night |

But now I’m | tired and I don’t want to | walk anymore |

I | hope it doesn’t take the | rest of my life |
| A7 | D |
Until I | find what it is I’ve been | looking for |
| G |
In the middle of the | night |
I go walking in my sleep
| G7 | C |
Through the | jungle of | doubt |
| Cmaj7 | D |
To the | river so | deep |

I know I’m | searching for something |
Something so undefined
| G7 | C |
That it can | only be | seen |

Through the | desert of | truth |

To the | river so | deep |

We all end in the | ocean |
We all start in the streams
| G7 | C |
We’re all | carried a | long |

By the | river of | dreams |

In the middle of the | night |
I go walking in the, in the middle of the

Girl, I'm here for you
All those times at night when you just hurt me
And just ran out with that other fellow
Baby I knew about it, I just didn't care
You just don't understand how much I love you, do you?
I'm here for you
I'm not out to go out there and cheat all night
Just like you did baby, but that's all right
Heh, I love you anyway, and I'm still going to be here for you till by dying day baby
Right now, I'm just in so much pain, baby, 'cause you just won't come back to me, will you?
Just come back to me!!!

Morning comes too | early |
Asus2 | Dadd9 |
And nighttime falls too l | ate |

And | sometimes all I | want to do is | wait |

The | shadow I’ve been | hiding in |

A | D/A |
Dreams are shaking set sirens waking up | tired eyes |
| E/A | G/A |
With the | light the memories all rush into his head | |
| A | D/A |
By a | candle stands a mirror of his | heart and soul she dances |
| E/A | G/A |
She was d | ancing through the night above his | bed |

And | walking to the window |
| Esus4 |
He | throws the shutters out against the wall |
A | Asus4 | A | Asus2 |
| D/F# | Esus4 |
And | from an ivory tower hears her | call |
A | D/A |
It’s been a long, long time, he’s had a | while to think it over |

In the | end he only sees the change |

Light to dark, | dark to light, light to dark, dark to light |

Heaven must be more than this |

Sacred hearts won’t take the pain |

You were | calling out my | name | | |

You | took away my hero | |

Will you take away my | pain | | | |

Let the cold in | side |

Feared today, forgot tomorrow | | |

Papa drove a truck nearly all his life |
| A7 |
You know it | drove mama crazy being a trucker’s wife |
| B7 |
The | part she couldn’t handle was the being alone |
| C | B7 |
I guess she | needed more to hold than just a | telephone |
E5 |
Papa called Mama each and every night |
| A7 |
Just to | ask her how she was and if us kids were alright |
B7 |
Mama would wait for that call to come in |
| C | B7 | E7 |
And when | Daddy’d hang up she was | gone a | gain |
A7 |
Mama was a looker lord how she shined |
E7 |
Papa was a good’n but the jealous kind |
A7 |
Papa loved Mama, Mama loved men |
E7 | B7 | E5 |
Mama’s in the graveyard | Papa’s in the | pen |
E5 |
Well it was bound to happen and one night it did |
A7 |
Papa came home and it was just us kids |
| B7 |
He had a | dozen roses and a bottle of wine |
| C | B7 |
If he was | lookin’ to surprise us he was | doin’ fine |
E5 |
I heard him cry for Mama up and down the hall |
| A7 |
Then I | heard a bottle break against the bedroom wall |
| B7 |
That | old diesel engine made an eerie sound |
| C | B7 | E7 |
When Papa | fired it up and headed | into | town |
| A7 |
Well the | picture in the paper showed the scene real well |
E7 |
Papa’s rig was buried in the local motel |
| A7 |
The | desk clerk said he saw it all real clear |
| E7 | B7 | E5 |
He never | hit the brakes and he was | shifting | gears |
A7 |
Mama was a looker lord how she shined |
E7 |
Papa was a good’n but the jealous kind |
A7 |
Papa loved Mama, Mama loved men |
E7 | B7 | E5 |
Mama’s in the graveyard | Papa’s in the | pen |
| E5 |
His | eyes are cold and restless |
| A | E5 |
His | wounds have almost | healed |
| A | E5 |
And | she’d give half of | Texas |
| A | E5 |
Just to | change the way he | feels |
| E5 |
She | knows his love’s in Tulsa |
| A |
And she | knows he’s gonna go |
| E5 |
Well it | ain’t no woman flesh and blood |
| B7 |
It’s that | damned old rodeo |
| E |
Well it’s | bulls and blood, it’s dust and mud |
| A | E |
It’s the | roar of a Sunday | crowd |
| E |
It’s the | white in his knuckles, the gold in the buckle |
| B7 | D | B |
He’ll | win the next go ‘round | | |
| E |
It’s | boots and chaps, it’s cowboy hats |
| A | E |
It’s | spurs and lati | go, it’s the ropes and the reins |
| B7 | E5 |
And the joy and the pain and they | call the thing rode | o |
| E5 |
She | does her best to hold him |
| A | E5 |
When | his love comes to | call |
| A | E5 |
But his | need for it cont | rols him |
| A | E5 |
And her | back’s against the | wall |
| E5 |
And it’s | so long girl I’ll see you |
| A | A | G |
When it’s | time for him to go | | |
| E5 |
You know the | woman wants her cowboy |
| B7 |
Like he | wants his rodeo |
| E |
Well it’s | bulls and blood, it’s dust and mud |
| A | E |
It’s the | roar of a Sunday | crowd |
| E |
It’s the | white in his knuckles, the gold in the buckle |
| B7 | D | B |
He’ll | win the next go ‘round | | |
| E |
It’s | boots and chaps, it’s cowboy hats |
| A | E |
It’s | spurs and lati | go, it’s the ropes and the reins |
| B7 | E5 |
And the joy and the pain and they | call the thing rode | o |
| E7 |
It’ll | drive a cowboy crazy |
| A | E7 |
It’ll | drive a man in | sane |
| A | E5 |
And he’ll | sell off every | thing he owns |
A | E5 |
Just to pay to play the | game |
| E5 |
And a | broken home and some broken bones |
| A |
Is | all he’ll have to show |

She rushes out to hold him | thankful he’s alive |

But on the wind and rain a | strange new perfume blows |

She runs back down the hallway | to the bedroom door |

Tells the lady in the mirror he | won’t do this again |

There goes the challenger being chased
By the blue, blue meanies on wheels
The vicious traffic squad cars are after our lone driver
The last American hero, the, the electric sin-tar
The demi-god, the super driver of the golden West
Two nasty Nazi cars are close behind the beautiful lone driver
The police cars are getting closer, closer
Closer to our soul hero in his soul mobile, yeah baby
They about to strike, they gonna get him, smash! rape!
The last beautiful free soul on this planet
But it is written if the evil spirit
Arms the tiger with claws
Brahman provided wings for the dove
Thus spake the super guru
Did you hear that?
What we've got here is failure to communicate
Some men, you just can't reach
So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it
Well, he gets it, and I don't like it any more than you men

Watch them come in off the streets

Take a c | loser | look | I’m not to b | bla | me | |
D |
Gonna have some fun with my frustration |
Gonna watch the big screen in my head
I'd rather take a detour
'Cause this road ain't getting clearer
Your train of thought has cut me off again
Better tame that boy 'cause he's a wild one
Better tame that boy 'fore he's a man
Sweetheart don't make me laugh
You's getting too big for your pants
And I's think maybe you should cut out while you can
| Bm |
Ow, | you can use your illusion |
| D |
Let t | ake you where it may |
| D |
And then sometimes it’s b | est to walk away |
Bm | C | B | A |
Me, I’m just here hangi | n’ on | | |
It’s my only place to stay at least for now anyway
| C | B | A | C | C |
I | ’ve | work | ed too hard for my illusions just to throw them all away | | |
| D |
I’m t | aking time for quiet consolation |
In passing by this love that’s passed away
I know it's never easy, so why should you believe me
When I've always got so many things to say
Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made
'Cause playful hearts can sometimes be enraged
You know I tried to wake you, I mean how long could it take you

Your friends, they aren’t at home
Everybody's gone to the garden

Saturday | summers when | I was a | kid |
| G | G/F# | Em | A/C# |
We’d | run to the | school yard and | here’s what we | did |
| G | A | G | A |
We’d | pick out the | captains and we’d | choose up the | teams |
| D | D/C# | Bm |
It was | always a | measure of | my self esteem |
| G | Em |
Cause the | fastest, the strongest played | shortstop and first |
| G/D | A/C# |
The | last ones they picked were the | worst |
C |
I never needed to ask, it was sealed |
| A/C# |
I just | took up my place in right field |
| D | D/C# | Bm | Bm7 |
Playing | right | field, it’s | easy you | know |
G | G/F# | Em | A |
You can be | awkward, | you can be | slow |
| G | A |
That’s why | I’m here in | right field |
| G | A/C# | D | G | D |
Just | watching the | dandelions | grow | | |
| D | D/C# | Bm | Bm7 |
Playing | right | field can be | lonely and | dull |
G | G/F# | Em | A/C# |
Little leagues | never have | lefties that | pull |
| G | A | G | A |
I | dream of the | day, when they | hit one my | way |
D | D/C# | Bm | Bm7 |
They never | did, but | still I would | pray |
| G | Em |
That | I’d make a fantastic | catch on the run |
| G/D | A/C# |
And | not lose the ball in the | sun |
| C |
And | then I’d awake from this long reverie |
| A/C# |
And | pray that the ball never came out to me |
| D | D/C# | Bm | Bm7 |
Here in | right | field, it’s | easy you | know |
G | G/F# | Em | A |
You can be | awkward, | you can be | slow |
| G | A |
That’s why | I’m here in | right field |
| G | A/C# | D | G | D |
Just | watching the | dandelions | grow | | |
D | D/C# | Bm | D/A | G | G/F# |
Em | A/C# | D | D/C# | B7 | Em |
| | | | | |
D | A/C# | Bm | Bm7 |
Off in the | distance, the | game’s dragging | on |
| G | G/F# | Em | A/C# |
There’s | strikes on the | batter, some | runners are | on |
| G | A | G | A |
I | don’t know the | inning, I’ve for | gotten the | score |
| D | D/C# | Bm |
The | whole team is | yelling and I | don’t know what for |
G | Em |
Suddenly everyone’s | looking at me |
| G/D | A/C# |
My | mind has been wandering, | what could it be? |
| C |
They | point to the sky and I look up above |
| A/C# |
And the | baseball falls into my glove! |
| D | D/C# | Bm | D/A |
Here in | right | field, it’s im | portant you | know |
| G | G/F# | Em | A |
You gotta | know how to | catch, you gotta | know how to | throw |
| G | A |
That’s why | I’m here in | right field |
| G | A | D | G | D |
Just | watching the | dandelions | grow | | |
A | C | G | D |
It’s hidden far awa | y, though | someday I may | tell |
A | E | Em | D |
The tale of mental | tangle when in | to your world I | fell |
A | C | G | D |
Without you now I | wander, soaking, | secretly afraid | |
A | E | Em | D |
But in your grasp the | fears don’t last, though | some of them have | stayed |
A | D | E | D | A |
I wheeled a | round because I, I | didn’t | hear what you had | said |
A | D | E | D | A |
And saw you | dancing with El | ihu, | up on Leemor’s | bed |
A | D | E | D | A |
And I was | foggy, rather | groggy, you h | elped me to my | car |
| D | E | D | A |
The b | inding belt enc | losing me, a | sample in a | jar |
| A | C | G | D |
And on the m | arket stands unf | olding, with all the w | illies and their | wares |
A | E | Em | D |
I shuffle by al | ert but numb to all the | glances and the | glares |
A | C | G | D |
I think of you | unheeding all the | times I raised my | cup |
A | E | Em | D |
It’s now I know that | you knew that I’d s | oon end up end up | |
A | D | E | D | A |
I wheeled a | round because I, I | didn’t | hear what you had | said |
A | D | E | D | A |

The b | inding belt enc | losing me, a | sample in a | jar |
| C | D | A | G |
You t | ricked me like the | others, and | now I don’t bel | ong |
| C | D | E7#9 |
The s | imple smiles and g | ood times seem all | wrong |
A | D | E | D | A |
I wheeled a | round because I, I | didn’t | hear what you had | said |

You’re lying safe in bed, it was all a bad dream |

There’s a place I like to hide |

A doorway that I | run through in the night |

Relax child, you were there |
| Em |
But only didn’t | realize, and you were scared |
Cadd9 |
It’s a place where you will learn |

Visualize your dream
Record it in the present tense
Put it into a permanent form
If you persist in your efforts
You can achieve dream control
Dream control
How are we feeling today, better??
Dream control, dream control
Help me
G |
If you open your mind for me |

You won’t rely on | open eyes to see |
G |
The walls you built within |

Come tumbling down, and a | new world will begin |

Living twice at once you learn |

You’re safe from pain in the d | ream domain, a soul set free to fly |

And | never came home |
Em |
Man with a badge came knocking next morning |

Here was I surrounded by a thousand | fingers suddenly |
| Asus2 |
Pointed | right at me |

I | swear I left her by the | river |

I ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

You're bundled up now, wait till you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ

My world's on fire, how about yours?
That's the way I like it and I never get bored

I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep what a concept I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change
