Gmaj7	Gmaj7	Cmaj7	D6

x 4, with oooh, ahh

G

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

Hang for 1 measure

	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

Note the lyrics are reversed wrt the intro

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

Hang for 1 meaure and 2 extra beats

	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
