In the middle of (I go walking in) |
| G9 |
In the middle of (I go | walking in) |
C | Cmaj7 |
In the middle of (I go | walking in) |
D |
In the middle of (I go walking in) |
| G |
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 |
| G |
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 |
| Cmaj7 | G |
But now I’m | tired and I don’t want to | walk anymore |
| Cmaj7 | Gmaj7 |
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 |
| G |
I know I’m | searching for something |
Something so undefined
| G7 | C |
That it can | only be | seen |
| Cmaj7 | D |
By the | eyes of the | blind |
| G |
In the middle of the | night |
G |
I go walking in the, in the middle of the |
| G7 |
I go walking in the, in the | middle of the |
C | Cmaj7 |
I go walking in the, in the | middle of the |

C | Cmaj7 |

D |
I go walking in the, in the middle of the |
Em | Gmaj7 |
I’m not sure about a | life after this |
| Cmaj7 | G |
God | knows I’ve never been a | spiritual man |
Cmaj7 | Gmaj7 |
Baptized by the | fire |
| A | D |
I wade into the | river that is running through the | promised land |
| G |
In the middle of the | night |
I go walking in my sleep
| G7 | C |
Through the | desert of | truth |
| Cmaj7 | D |
To the | river so | deep |
| G |
We all end in the | ocean |
We all start in the streams
| G7 | C |
We’re all | carried a | long |
| Cmaj7 | D |
By the | river of | dreams |
| G |
In the middle of the | night |
I go walking in the, in the middle of the
| G7 |
I go walking in the, in the | middle of the |
C | Cmaj7 |
I go walking in the, in the | middle of the |
D |
I go walking in the, in the middle of the |

It doesn’t | matter what I | say | |

That makes you | feel that I’ll con | vey | |
G | D | G | A |
Some inner | truth of vast re | flec | tion |
D | A | Bm7 | F#7 |
But I’ve said | nothing so | far | |
G | D | G | A |
And I can keep | it up as | long as it | takes |

And it don’t | matter who you | are | |

D | A | Bm | F#7 |
In fact I | don’t mean | any of this | |
G | D | G | A |
Still my conf | ession draws you | near | |
D | A | Bm | F#7 |
To confuse the i | ssue I re | fer | |
G | D | G | A |
To familiar h | eroes from | long ago | |
D | A | Bm | F#7 |
No matter how | much Peter l | oved her | |
G | D | G | A |
What made the | pan refuse to | grow | |

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!!!

What can I do to say | anything to you? |

Or | why can’t I say it any | more? |
| Em | Am |
Do I need to | fuck up my brain just to | talk to myself? |
| B7 | Em |
(Am I too) | happy, too old, or too | bored? |
| Am | Em |
And if you | open your arms and put a | smile on |
| B7 | Em |
Does that mean | you’ll be there to catch me when I | fall? |
| Am | Em |
And if I | say it to you so you can | hear me |
| B7 |
Does that mean | I never said anything at all? |
| Em | Am |
You say you’re | well on the way to unders | tanding |
| B7 | Em |
But still you’re | waiting for me to say | more |
| Em | Am |
And when my | pen has run dry and I need | you now |
| B7 | Em |
I just see your | back as you walk out the | door |
| Am | Em |
When will you | get I’m not your personal | Picasso? |
| B7 | Em |
When will you | get I’m not so different from | you? |
| Am | Em |
What will it | take to get a little conver | sation? |

A little hint | that all your promises were true |
| Am | Em |
And if you | open your arms and put a | smile on |

Does that mean | you’ll be there to catch me when I | fall? |

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 |

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 |

Well it’s | bulls and blood, it’s dust and mud |
| A | E |
It’s the | roar of a Sunday | crowd |

It’s the | white in his knuckles, the gold in the buckle |

He’ll | win the next go ‘round | | |

It’s | spurs and lati | go, it’s the ropes and the reins |

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 |
| E5 |
For | all the years that he spent chasin’ |
| B7 |
This | dream they call rodeo |

Well it’s | bulls and blood, it’s dust and mud |

It’s the | roar of a Sunday | crowd |

And the joy and the pain and they | call the thing rode | o |

It’s the | broncs and the blood |
It’s the steers and the mud

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

She | reaches for the pistol hidden | in the dresser drawer |

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

Do you n | eed sometime on your | own? |

Don’t you know you | need sometime all | alone |
G#m | Amaj7 | E |
I know it’s | hard to keep an | open heart |
G#m | Amaj7 | F#m7 |
When even | friends seem out to | harm you |

But if you | could heal a | broken heart |
G#m | Amaj7 | B |
Wouldn’t | time be out to | charm you, whoa |

Sometimes I need sometime on my | own |

Saturday | summers when | I was a | kid |
| C | C/B | Am | D/F# |
We’d | run to the | school yard and | here’s what we | did |
| C | D | C | D |
We’d | pick out the | captains and we’d | choose up the | teams |
| G | G/F# | Em |
It was | always a | measure of | my self esteem |
| C | Am |
Cause the | fastest, the strongest played | shortstop and first |
| C/G | D/F# |
The | last ones they picked were the | worst |
F |
I never needed to ask, it was sealed |
| D/F# |
I just | took up my place in right field |
| G | G/F# | Em | Em7 |
Playing | right | field, it’s | easy you | know |
C | C/B | Am | D |
You can be | awkward, | you can be | slow |
| C | D |
That’s why | I’m here in | right field |
| C | D/F# | G | C | G |
Just | watching the | dandelions | grow | | |
| G | G/F# | Em | Em7 |
Playing | right | field can be | lonely and | dull |
C | C/B | Am | D/F# |
Little leagues | never have | lefties that | pull |
| C | D | C | D |
I | dream of the | day, when they | hit one my | way |
G | G/F# | Em | Em7 |
They never | did, but | still I would | pray |
| C | Am |
That | I’d make a fantastic | catch on the run |
| C/G | D/F# |
And | not lose the ball in the | sun |
| F |
And | then I’d awake from this long reverie |
| D/F# |
And | pray that the ball never came out to me |
| G | G/F# | Em | Em7 |
Here in | right | field, it’s | easy you | know |
C | C/B | Am | D |
You can be | awkward, | you can be | slow |
| C | D |
That’s why | I’m here in | right field |

Off in the | distance, the | game’s dragging | on |
| C | C/B | Am | D/F# |
There’s | strikes on the | batter, some | runners are | on |
| C | D | C | D |
I | don’t know the | inning, I’ve for | gotten the | score |
| G | G/F# | Em |
The | whole team is | yelling and I | don’t know what for |
C | Am |
Suddenly everyone’s | looking at me |
| C/G | D/F# |
My | mind has been wandering, | what could it be? |
| F |
They | point to the sky and I look up above |
| D/F# |
And the | baseball falls into my glove! |
| G | G/F# | Em | G/D |
Here in | right | field, it’s im | portant you | know |
| C | C/B | Am | D |
You gotta | know how to | catch, you gotta | know how to | throw |
| C | D |
That’s why | I’m here in | right field |
| C | D | G | C | G |
Just | watching the | dandelions | grow | | |
| Em |
The lengths that I will | go to |
| Am |
The distance in your | eyes |
Em | Dm |
Oh no, I’ve said too | much |
| Am |
That’s me in the | corner |
| Em |
That’s me in the | spotlight |
| Em |
Trying to | keep up with you |
| Am |
And I | don’t know if I can do it |
Em | Dm |
Oh no, I’ve said too | much |
| G | F |
I | thought that I heard you | laughing |
| G | Am |
I thought that I | heard you | sing |
| F | G | Am |
I | think I thought I saw | you | try |
G | Am | Em |
Every | whisper of every waking | hour |
| Am |
I’m choosing my con | fessions |
| Em |
Trying to | keep an eye of you |
| Am |
Like a | hurt lost and blinded fool, fool |
Em | Dm |
Oh no, I’ve said too | much |
| Am |
Consider | this, consider this |
| Am |
Consider | this, the slip |
| Em |
That | brought me to my knees failed |
Am |
What if all these fantasies |
| Dm | G |
Now I’ve | said too | much |
| G | F |
I | thought that I heard you | laughing |
| G | Am |
I thought that I | heard you | sing |
| F | G | Am |
I | think I thought I saw | you | try |
| C | D |
But | that was just a | dream |
C | D |
That was just a | dream |
| Am |
That’s me in the | corner |
| Em |
That’s me in the | spotlight |
| Em |
Trying to | keep up with you |
| Am |
And I | don’t know if I can do it |
Em | Dm |
Oh no, I’ve said too | much |
| G | F |
I | thought that I heard you | laughing |

I thought that I | heard you | sing |
| F | G | Am |
I | think I thought I saw | you | try |

But | that was just a dream |

Some | body once | told me the | world is gonna | roll me |
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
G | C | C#dim | C |
Hey now, you’re an | all-star, get your | game on, | go play |

Hey now, you’re a r | ock star, get the s | how on, g | et paid |

All that | glitters is | gold |
C | G | F | C |
Only shooting s | tars | break the | mold |
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now, wait till you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water's gettin' warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire, how about yours?
That's the way I like it and I never get bored
G | C | C#dim | C |

Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
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
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 much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
You'll never know if you don't go

Please allow me to intro | duce myself |
| A | E |
I’m a | man of wealth and | taste |
E | D |
I’ve been around for a | long, long year |
A | E |
Stole many a man’s soul and | faith |
E | D |
And I was ‘round when | Jesus Christ |
| A | E |
Had his | moment of doubt and | pain |
| D |
Made damn sure that | Pilate |
| A | E |
Washed his | hands and sealed his | fate |
B | E |
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my | name |
| B | E |
But what’s | puzzling you is the nature of my | game |
E | D |
I stuck around St. | Petersburg |
| A | E |
When I | saw it was a time for a | change |
| D |
Killed the Czar and his | ministers |
| A | E |
Anas | tasia screamed in | vain |
| E | D |
I | rode a tank, held a | general’s rank |
| A | E |
When the | Blitzkrieg raged and the | bodies stank |
B | E |
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my | name |
| B | E |
But what’s | puzzling you is the nature of my | game |
| E | D |
I | watched with glee while your | kings and queens |
| A | E |
Fought for | ten decades for the | Gods they made |
| E | D |
I | shouted out “Who killed the | Kennedys?” |
| A | E |
When | after all it was | you and me |
E | D |
Let me please intro | duce myself |
| A | E |
I’m a | man of wealth and | taste |
| D |
And I laid traps for | troubadours |
| A | E |
Who get | killed before they reached Bom | bay |
B | E |
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my | name |
| B | E |
But what’s | puzzling you is the nature of my | game |
B | E |
Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my | name |

But what’s | confusing you is the nature of my | game |
| E | D |
Just as | every cop is a | criminal |

And | all the sinners | saints |
| E | D |
As | heads is tails just call me | Lucifer |
| A | E |
‘Cause I’m in | need of some re | straint |
E | D |
So if you meet me have some | courtesy |
| A | E |
Have some | sympathy, and some | taste |
| D |
Use all your well-learned pol | itesse |
| A | E |
Or I’ll | lay your soul to | waste, aw yeah |
B | E |
Pleased to meet you hope you guess my | name |
