[G]
[C]
[D] [G] I'm in love, I'm in love, [C] I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm [D] in love, I'm in love, I'm in love,
In the middle [G] of the night, [C] I had a walkin' in my sleep, From the mountains of faith,
[Em] To the river [D] salty, I must be lookin' for [G] something, Something sacred I know,
But the river [C] is wide, And it's too [D] hard to cross,
[Em] Even though I [G] know the river is wide, I [C] walk down every evening [G] and stand on the shore,
[C] I try to cross [Bm] to the opposite side, So [A] I can finally find what [D] I've been lookin' for,
In the middle [G] of the night, I had a walkin' in my sleep, Through the valley [C] of fear,
To a river [D] salty, I'm in search of something, Taken out of [G] my soul,
Something I'd [C] never lose, Something [D] somebody stole,
[Em] I got a [D] walkin' at night, But [C] now I'm tired and I don't [G] wanna walk anymore,
[C] I hope I must [Bm] take the rest of my life, [A] Until I find what it is [D] I've been lookin' for,
In the middle of the night, I had a walkin' in my sleep, Through the jungle [C] of doubt,
To the river [D] salty, I know I'm [G] searchin' for something, Something so undefined,
That it can only [C] be seen, By the [D] eyes of the blind,
In the middle [G] of the night,
[C] [D]
[G]
[C] [D]
[Em] Not [G] sure if I like that, But [C] God knows I've never [G] been a spiritual [C] man,
That's [Bm] why I [A] waded to the river, That is [D] runnin' through the promised land,
In the [G] middle of the night, I had a walkin' in my sleep,
Through the [C] desert of truth, To the [D] river salty,
We all [G] land in the ocean, We all start in the streams,
We're all [C] carried along, [Em] By the [D] river of dreams,
In the [E] middle of the [G] night,
